She is still PM though, and as such should be reaching out to the country not just randomly selected homes.

I'm not sure her local constituents would feel the same way. They deserve her to be a constituency MP, on top of everything else. It's the party that fights elections, not the Prime Minister.

She should do them.
They have been done for the last 2 elections and all those leaders were willing to do them,as they are now too.

Those leaders were all elected by voters too,except for Natalie Bennett and now Paul Nuttall.
If they can manage to do them,so should she.

Strange how TV debates are treated as an absolute must these days when there was never any form of tv debate in the numerous general elections before 2010. There's only been two elections in which we had them and even in 2015 Cameron only reluctantly agreed to a seven person one. It's pretty obvious that the serving PM will always have the most to lose and the least to gain from TV debates, look how well they worked out for Brown in 2010
