Change BBC Charter so that half the Trustees are members of the general public

Additional Information

I petition that the BBC Charter be amended so that half the Trustees are members of the general public to ensure that the Corporation reflects the views of the majority of licence-fee-payers.

The BBC Trustees are supposed to represent the 'ordinary' licence-fee-payer, but are themselves members of the elitist, liberal clique that control the Corporation's policy.

Currently, the official criteria for suitability ensures that only “the great and the good” are eligible.

The BBC over the years has exerted far more influence than the Murdock organisation and fear of its power has prevented MPs from representing the overwhelmingly majority view of the electorate on matters like immigration, Europe, antisocial behaviour etc.
