The official Leave campaign had wanted one of its senior figures - Michael Gove or Boris Johnson - to take part and claimed No 10 had "set the rules".
ITV rejected claims of a "stitch up", while Mr Farage, UKIP leader, said Vote Leave should "put their egos aside".

It is media influece however you look at it. Decisions on who should be representing their point of view on tv should be made by each leave/stay campaign not a media company.
I dont know who ITV would prefer to win but i do know their primary reasoning will be tv ratings which is not in the public interest just their own interest.
