Fair representation for UK Political Parties at General Election Leadership Debates

The Issue

This petition notes that the following Political Parties are represented in the House of Commons: Conservative Party (302), Labour Party (257), Liberal Democrats (56); Democratic Unionist Party (8); Scottish National Party (6); Sinn Féin (5); Plaid Cymru (3); SDLP (3); Alliance Party (1); Green Party (1); Respect Party (1); UK Independence Party (UKIP) (1) and Independent (3)

 

This petition notes that as of 13th October, it is the media's intention to hold leadership debates featuring Conservative Party, Labour Party, Liberal Democrats and UKIP only. Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-29595529 ;

 

This is unfair and undemocratic, as shown from the numbers represented above.

 

This petition calls on the BBC, ITV, Sky and Channel 4 to include leaders of the other main UK Parties in their tv debates, as not to do so would be undemocratic and unrepresentative of the UK's political picture.
