It's a little unfair to criticize the BBC for not showing this debate...because they ARE:
"Sky News, which will host the second debate in Bristol, has made the rights available to rival broadcasters, but the BBC has chosen to simulcast it only on BBC News 24. It will also be simulcast on Radio 4 and repeated on BBC2 at 11.30pm."
So I'm not sure that the question should stand.
Also, you have to draw the line somewhere...who else should be given air time? There are dozens of minority parties...if you gave them ALL equal screen time, there'd be no room for Eastenders and Strictly Come Dancing.
Oh...I seem to have blown a hole in my own argument.
