Include Green Party, SNP and Plaid Cymru in TV debates.
The media and three main parties want Nigel Farage included in the TV debates prior to the 2015 general election.
They do not want the Greens, SNP and Plaid included because that would show everyone that the Tories, Lib Dems, Labour and Ukip have almost identical policies.
They do not want anyone who might present voters with a genuine choice given the oxygen of publicity.
Including Nigel Farage and not Natalie Bennett, leader of the Green Party would be a betrayal of democracy. The Greens have had MPs and MEPs far longer than Ukip and are polling ahead of the Lib Dems in some opinion polls - when they are included!
The leaders of the SNP and Plaid should also be included..
