Our panellists set out their voting intentions for the first time in the campaign.

Karen Jardine: Belfast "That the result will be based on the border question is quite frustrating." Martin Walker: Holywood "General elections tend to be sectarian headcounts here." Barra Best: Belfast "Stop parachuting ministers in from England to make our decisions. "

John Emerson: Carrickfergus "The defining issue will surely be one of trust." Danny Walker: Glengormley "I'm concerned about the future of the NHS." Clare Skelton: Lisburn "Top-up fees are unfair to students and parents."

We also want to hear what you think, so send us your comments using the form after each person's views.

The readers' panel has been selected from as wide a cross-section of people as possible and may not be representative of wider public opinion.
