Rejected petition Ensure televised 2017 election debates are held ‒ with or without Theresa May.

Theresa May has announced there will be no televised debates for the 2017 General Election. This is undemocratic and an attempt to allow a Tory majority to be rushed through without any scrutiny of policies. The electorate has a right to see the key issues debated, with or without the PM.
