Closed Require public service broadcasters to give proportional coverage to all parties

Closed on

We urge the Government to pass a law which requires all public service broadcasters, including the BBC, to be required to give media coverage to political parties that is proportional to the number of MPs they have in the House of Commons.

We believe that more fringe elements in Parliament have been given coverage and airtime due to their views rather than their level of support in Parliament. We believe that we constantly hear the opinions from a vocal minority, which outweigh the opinions of the majority. We believe reasonable party leaders are not platformed at all and that this gives an extremely skewed message to the public.
