UPDATE: Watch Hillary's answers to your questions - scroll down to the bottom of the OP!

Yes, really. No, we're not kidding. Hillary Clinton - the former US Secretary of State, former First Lady and rumoured likely Democratic presidential candidate for 2016 - is visiting the UK this week to talk about her new book, Hard Choices: her memoir of her time in office as President Obama's agent overseas, after running against him for the Democratic nomination in the 2008 election. As Secretary of State, she was arguably the most powerful woman in the world for four years; if she were to revive her bid for the presidency and succeed Obama to the White House in two years' time, there'd be no contest. And this Friday, she'll be answering your questions.

Unsurprisingly, her time is strictly limited to 20 mins per session with the world's media, so rather than the usual webchat format, we figured we'd cover more ground by putting your questions to her on camera. We reckon we'll have time for about eight questions, depending on length, so in order to make sure that we ask the ones you'd most like to have answered, Tech have created a tool whereby you can nominate your favourite. Please do read through the thread and cast your vote - you can see the top 10 questions, ranked by number of votes, in the box to the right. We'll take the top eight along with us on Friday morning, and get the video up on site as quickly as possible.

So: what is it you've always wanted to ask Hillary Clinton? Now's your chance! And remember just one question each, please, or we'll be confused about what we're voting for.

UPDATE: Hillary answers your questions...

@MardyBra

My question would be: America has elected a black president. Do you think it's time for a woman president? (Supplementary question: And please tell me you'd be an improvement on Maggie Thatcher!).

Strictly no supplementary questions allowed folks! If you ask two only first question will be relevant for the vote - Mardy if you want to choose the second one let us know and we'll edit it.

@Pinter

Ms Rodham...

What do you think of the NHS?
Are you glad you had a girl?
Did you really write to NASA?

Hi Pinter - can you pick of these please - otherwise people won't know what they're voting for...

@gertiegusset

Are we allowed more than one vote? There are a few really good questions here.

Yes you can vote for more than one gertie, you just can't vote for the same question more than once (iyswim)

@PetiteRaleuse

Is this a cunning and elaborate way for MNHQ to test out a like button?

Ha - I might vote for this one Grin

[quote GrubbyOldSock]@mnhq have you shut down random sign ups like you did when you had amnesty international on so that only MNrs get to ask questions. Hope so![/quote]

yes we have!

Hey everyone - thanks so much for all your questions. We're going to close the thread to new questions at 5pm, to give everyone a chance to vote, so if you're still drafting yours, be quick! You'll still be able to vote for your favourites after that, though.

Thanks
MNHQ
