Well he's the leader of a party that has been making massive waves in British politics, one that did top the vote in the recent EU elections, has just won it's first seat and will be targeting several more come May.

Both Ukip and the Green's have an inflated sense of their own importance imo, but in Ukip's case it is slightly more justified.

I agree that for the Scottish and Welsh assembly elections, that should be between the Parties seeking election in Scotland and Wales only,also the Northern Irish assembly too.
However, there could never ever possibly be a Welsh Nationalist,Scottish Nationalist or any of the Irish Parties govt. of the whole United Kingdom at Westminster.

The 2015 election will be for the whole UK Parliament and only Parties that are standing across the UK should be in the debates.
The criteria for same being if they have MPs,MEPs and also Councillors already elected.
That for me opens the door to the Greens and UKIP with the Lib Dems, Conservatives and Labour and no other Party at present as to the Westminster election of 2015.

Definitely, the Greens have also actually been able to win a seat at a general election so have more right to be included.

Yes after the Big 4 Broadcasters
put out this plan
The PM went on a Interview
and said the Greens should be on

I think he then hopes to water down Farage.

You can see it like a WWE Wrestling ring
and Farage is like Triple H
bringing his Sledge Hammer Blow
on Ed and Dave

of course on Clegg
he has already knocked him out

The greens deserve a voice, it's annoyed me that they got more seats than Lib Dems recently and they still are left as "others" and are not included in the debates.
