I can't find any reference to this subject, so excuse me if this has already been debated.

I have to agree with Cameron to allow the Green Party a platform on the media debate, if democracy rules then the Greens should have a voice if UKIP are to speak.

The only advantage I can see in getting all the main party leaders in one room at the same time is that a stray asteroid would do us all a favour.



One of these could come in handy:-

If there could be a suspicion that the questions asked could be moderated by the programmers to make it easy for the Establishment leaders, Farage will wreck that idea.
Regardless of how the presenter puts the questions Farage will make certain he puts them ALL on the spot.

Yes, I agree, I'm looking forward to it. Would like to see the Greens represented but, as has been said already, they have nothing to say that interests me. However it would appear that they have a bigger following than the Libs, or so I'm led to believe!

Personally I would appreciate a debate where the Green party was included.
Does anyone actually know what the green party stands for, or even the lib dems for that matter? they seem to be so vague regarding direction and policy making.
You could always check their respective websites instead of getting second hand information off of here.

Works for me.
You mean like it worked for all those lib dem voters who voted against tuition fees in 2010 ?
Politicians are opportunists, liars and cheats, for the most part anyway.

Always get anything they say in writing it makes it easier to throw it back in their faces when the time is right.

I think Al Qaeda should be invited, let's see what those f@@kers have got to say for themselves. Their policies are shit.

And it wouldn't just be Cameron ''running scared from these debates''.  !bgrin!

I'm not sure what game Cameron is playing here. Since when has he been remotely interested in the green party? And if he makes a stand on their behalf, then he must surely also campaign to have the Scots Nats included; for they could well be power brokers in the next government. Nor should Milliband be so ready to accuse Cameron of being scared, for he (Cameron) is making a habit of ritually disembowelling poor old Ed at PMQ each and every time.

Why not two debates only? The first; the only one that will really matter, should be between Cameron and Milliband. The second would be for the fringe parties; and in this lot I would include the Liberals....simply because they are a pain in the ass. But Cameron purporting to be sticking up for the right of the Green party to be heard is nonsense, and no-one believes him. What IS he up to?
t could be that the green Party takes more votes from Labour and the Liberals than they do from the Conservatives.
it is also the reason why the Labour Party and the Liberal parties do not want the Greens to be present. . Of course if they really do want Cameron to Debate the issues with them just allow the greens to be represented.
In fact all those with representation in Parliament including the Scots Nationalists and the Northern Ireland parties should be present.
Perhaps the best thing to do was to scrap the whole idea.

I regard the Green party as a bunch of hypocrites, that are more intent on pushing their social justice policies than doing anything to stop climate change.

They can't even bring themselves to state the obvious, that all green issues are caused by Humans and the more of them there are the worse it gets.

They are Watermelons, Green on the outside, red on the inside.

From what I read here, it seems to me they actually admit the earth has a carrying capacity, but it is their duty to reduce the united kingdom to the state of a third world shithole in order that women can have as many kids as they like and not cause problems for the planet owing to their consumption of resources

They could be proposing that grass must be called blue and the sky red for all I care. If they have that level of support and political footprint then they should be in those debates if UKIP and the Lib Dems are.

Yes................have a word with the people of Brighton about life with the Green Party in charge. Weirdoes the lot of them!

However, that does not mean that they, (or anybody else), should be excluded from putting their views forward.

After all, we have to put up with the rubbish and drivel put out by the Lib/Lab/Con circus, one more set of comedians won't do any harm.

Muslims as a group, as a politically motivated movement wanting Sharia laws imposed for themselves, for us all, are numbered higher than the Greens or even the Liberals ........ they have a case to be included.

I don't see that it matters one jot if he decides not to enjoin the debate.

For my money CAMERON is a loser come May, not that Milliband is going to be anything to celebrate.

A 'solution' could be to have two debates, one for the main parties, the other for the smaller one's.

That would give Milliband a clear path to 'victory', but, a 'defeat' for the country.

CAMERON would be an open target on his policies by Milliband, that would 'win' it for Milliband, without any 'right of reply' for CAMERON.

He, CAMERON, will lose, 'debate' or no 'debate'.
