Rejected petition Include regional parties in the upcoming televised debates.

More details

The upcoming General Election is due, and thanks to UKIP gaining ONE! Yes ONE solitary MP, they are invited to the televised debates. This is unfair for parties which hold regional seats and these people should be given a chance to speak also. Any party with more than 2 seats should be invited to a debate which along with the big players can appeal to the voting public and get their views across. Not everyone is happy or votes for the big 3 so the others should be allowed a voice to fight for their cause.

Unfortunately political parties televised debates are not a matter for HM Government, as they contain party political material.
