Rejected petition All leaders of UK political parties to have TV debate before General Election
Rejected on
I believe that all people eligible to vote should have the opportunity to see all leaders of each political party debate in a live TV appearance. TV today is still one of the most powerful ways of politicians delivering their message and being questioned on their manifestos and current issues.
