I have always believed in fairness and transparency, principles exemplified by Rupert Lowe, a candidate for Restore Britain. Unfortunately, the BBC excluded Restore Britain from the Makerfield election debate, providing a platform only for select parties. Regardless of personal political affiliation, it's imperative that voters have the chance to hear from all parties with legitimate local support. Rupert Lowe has dedicated his life to promoting integrity and conveying crucial messages that resonate with the public.

In a democratic society, the media plays a crucial role in informing the public. When media institutions like the BBC selectively silence certain voices, they undermine the democratic process. Voters deserve access to comprehensive information to make informed decisions at the polls. Without hearing equally from all parties, voters miss the opportunity to form balanced views and hold candidates accountable.

Excluding Restore Britain from debates compromises the democratic principle of equal representation. Statistics show that various minor parties collectively represent a non-negligible portion of the voting population. These perspectives are essential for comprehensive deliberation, contributing to varied discourse needed for a truly democratic election.

We call upon the BBC to implement transparent and fair criteria for debate inclusion, ensuring every party with genuine local support has an opportunity to share their platform. By refining debate inclusion protocols, we can strengthen our democratic process and empower voter decision-making.
