Default If the Broadcasters want Nigel Farage in the Debates Ed Miliband says yes
He was on A. Marr BBC1
with Nigel next to him
at the show ending


He said if the broadcasters
want Nigel in the debates
with the PM , Him and Clegg
he says yes.


I hope LBC/SkyNewsHD do one with the 4.

Although I disagree with near all he stands for, Nigel Farage that is,I think there is a case for him to be included this time.

I'm not so sure - UKIP don't have a single MP. Say Farage is invited on to the debates, what happens if the other minor parties who have MP's want to appear? The likes of the Greens, Respect, SNP and Plaid Cymru all have MP's unlike UKIP. Many would argue this wouldn't be fair.

Maybe UKIP doesn't have any MPs but they've got plenty of MEPs. This election is a European election, so I don't really understand your objection. What's more, they have loads of Councillors and this time next year after the General Election, going on current public support, they'll have plenty of MPs too. This isn't a notion that pleases me... but I believe it will happen.

Sorry, but I don't agree , your comments are misinformed lack any substance and are hateful to the Politician in question.

I feel compelled to reply to posts like this as they serve no purpose other than to elicit similar responses from other posters who see this as just an unwarranted character attack on this politician.

Err... to be fair... for one I think you're being hyperbolic, here... and even if not... what you're describing happens in every single political thread on this forum, directed at one politician or another. I've never seen you react like this to (for example) any Milliband-bashing or even the (perfectly justified, mind you) Camerosbourne bashing.

So I have to ask: why do you have such a boner for Farage? The only explanation I can think of, is that you actually are Farage

Hey I know as much as the next man and make my opinion based on the words directly from his mouth not he press... As I have said before if you don't like my view on farage tough, I'm not going to sugar coat it in fear of offending you and your sensibilities.
I feel compelled to remind you that in the absence of thought police I am free to express whatever position I hold on whoever and whatever I like!
I can't be held responsible for your outbursts.

He doesn't open up debate, he bangs on about the same points constantly... it's not the same.

Of course it should be "allowed" ... We can't start censoring politics by simply trying to silence controversial opinions... even if it's "the bad stuff ". It sets a dangerous precedent.

A sanitised more palatable version for the more genteel voter.
