They do love a court case seems layla moran has told nick robinson they are going to court because jo swinson is not in the debate between boris and jezza.

When it was announced there was going to be a live tv debate between Boris and Jeremy i was bit confused why there was no invite for the lib dems who have the 3rd highest following.

I dont agree with a debate with 6 or 7 partys like last time as they turned out to be a shit show with very little time for anyone to talk as everyone was talking over each other.

But to have just labour and conservatives in the debate feels a bit wrong too.

Surely the one party representing remain should be apart of these debates also?

I do kind of agree with that but the thought of a face off between corbyn and Johnson being disrupted by Swinson would make it less interesting. She’s got a long way to go in terms of experience yet but I do admire her confidence....it’s quite attractive

I agree it’s not a two horse race .

The SNP have the third highest following with 35 MP’s .

The SNP only field candidates in Scotland though where as I presume the Lib Dems fields candidates across the UK so I think the Lib Dems should be part of the debates.

I can see the liberals point as they are standing in the whole of the U.K. but Brexit and the Greens could say the same !

Perhaps have 3 debates ?

With the other 3 having one go each !

With labour and con at them all ?

If enough people vote Lib Dems in enough constituencies then she will, obviously

Same as Farage, or anyone else if you can get the votes

There is a legal requirement on broadcasters to balance their airtime during an election.

I imagine the argument of the broadcasters is that this a debate for choosing the next Prime Minister, rather than choosing a party to vote for.

At a UK-wide level, however, three are three parties in the hunt for a serious number of seats, and it does seem a bit of a snub to Mrs Swinson.

I think they won 12 seats in the last election and with defections (not actually elected for the lib/dems)20 when you need over 300 seats do you really think she is in contention?

I don't, no. But that won't stop them jumping up and down to be heard.

Does anyone actually believe that a tv debate makes any difference to the vote ?

If one or t'other, makes a big gaffe, yes.

Otherwise, probably not, though I do think Corbyn has more to gain, because it lets people see the true person, rather than the persona created by the right-wing media to help their chums in the Tory Party.
