Rejected petition Remove the section of the BBC charter that makes it compulsory to feature the leader of a certain eurosceptic party at least once a day on BBC news

More details

Given that the UKIP has no Westminster MPs, it seems strange that more news coverage is dedicated to its leader than the leaders of any of the major Westminster parties ... the only conclusion is that there must be a section of the BBC charter that demands this coverage.

In the name of political fairness, this needs to be removed.
