This week Susan Hulme looks at the Iraq War Enquiry, should the UK census ask questions about sexuality, alcohol pricing as a public health measure and whatever happened to electronic voting?

As a fifth inquiry begins in London into the causes and conduct of the Iraq war, what can the United States teach British politicians about dealing with this most divisive of issues?

Britain鈥檚 equality commission has suggested a question on sexual preferences should be included in the national census. A useful aid to policy-makers, or an unwarranted intrusion?

Hospital accident and emergency units treated over 800 thousand people last year for sickness and injuries related to alcohol. We ask if raising the price of drink is the answer.

And whatever happened to dream of casting a vote by computer or text? We find out from the organiser of Britain鈥檚 annual conference on e-democracy.

That's on Politics UK this week with Susan Hulme.
