Call for a Party Leaders' debate ahead of the June 2017 general elections
Theresa May has said there will be no leaders' debate before the newly announced general election.
Not only is this unorthodox, it is wholly unfair on voters who deserve to hear each candidate's piece on a level playing ground. If she wants to be elected fair and square, she must face her opponents like everybody else. She cannot cheat the British people out of the right to make an informed decision.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
A decision about whether to host a televised debate of this kind would be the responsibility of the broadcasters, not the Government or Parliament.
A decision about whether to take part in any televised debate would be for Theresa May to make as leader of the Conservative party, not as the Prime Minister. We can only accept petitions about the Prime Minister’s actions as part of the Government, not as the leader of a political party.
