I'm sure the smaller parties will get coverage befitting their opinion poll ratings.
As for the 40 years comment - LOL. Go back and sit in the corner in your tinfoil hat avoiding the TV Licensing man.
Except they're not. The Greens are polling higher than the lib dems but do not have the option to speak at any of the leaders' debates. The SNP look like they could win over 30 seats (they currently have 6) but have no invite either.

Sorry, are you either denying that the bbc covered up for paedophiles when it's widely know that they did, or are you just being a paedo apologist..... I'm not quite sure?
When did this happen?
Wait. Why am I getting involved with this? OH GOD! WHAT HAVE I DONE?
The SNP will get localised coverage from BBC Scotland, same for the other national parties like Plaid Cymru. If they put up candidates outside their self imposed borders I might agree they should be included, but the SNP will stop at Hadrians wall so they shouldn't be.
As for the Greens they've got a single MP. Why not invite George Galloway to the debate as well, as head of the Respect Party? He's also got the same number of seats.
It's widely known you read the Daily Mail sat in the corner of a room wearing a tinfoil hat. I'm not quite sure?
There were a hell of a lot of rumours about Saville. It should have been investigated.
You talked about coverage in terms of the what the parties are polling. Now you're talking in terms of the seats they have. Which is it?
Have some official guidance from the BBC : http://www.bbc.co.uk/editorialguide...ices-elections/#Broadcasting During Elections
Seems quite clear.
As for Savile, that's vastly off topic. If you want to discuss that, open a new thread.
Actually this whole thing is going off topic. I'm out.
I've never read the daily mail, nor the sun, nor the star..... **** reading racist sexist ***** like that. Presumptuous tossrag

Funny that you're quite happy to refer to it when you want to throw insults at people though isn't it?
That's called a factory job. If you worked at a Ford plant putting bolts into a truck it would be the same thing (coincidently those workers often work 10-12 hour days).
----------
I never said that. I'm saying that working conditions are bad for a lot of people.
----------
No but they are paid very well when compared to their peers. Similarly a factory worker in the US makes far more money than a physician in India.
----------
The documentary specifically highlighted the hours worked by these factory workers---implying it was unusual/bad. It isn't. That was my point.
----------
A central tenant of the documentary was that these workers put in too many hours per day. I was challenging that idea.
In response to your statement, these workers make far more money than their regional peers, giving them money and prestige. It's all relative.
I never make the claim that they were good compared to Western standards. If you go back to the original report it focuses on working hours. I find that focus to be patently ridiculous as 1) long working hours does not constitute worker abuse (I originally say I routinely work 80 hour weeks as a physician and I doubt many would consider that as abusive) and 2) it detracts from the very real problems occurring in Asian factories.
