In I'm a Councillor (www.bivote.org.uk) we're quite happy for young people
to use pseudonyms.  In fact we encourage it so that shy students feel
emboldened to ask any question they want rather than what they feel they
should ask.

Last year we ran the event in Northern Ireland for the first time and were
asked to enforce a zero-tolerance regime to sectarianism.  We had to remove
just two out of nearly 500 students from the site.
