UKIP must be allowed to participate in the BBC aired EU referendum debate

Petition Details

The BBC are due to air a debate on the EU Referendum. UKIP, the very party that founded the idea of an EU Referendum are not being included in the debate.

As National Broadcaster this is absolutely unacceptable and shows a bias towards the in campaign. UKIP must be allowed to join the debate.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.

You might like to write to the BBC to make this suggestion.
