Election debate guidelines agreed

Finally, it seems that there is some agreement between the UK political parties and the main UK broadcasters over the pre-election TV debates involving the leaders of the parties.

According to the BBC, a deal has been struck between the leaders of the Conservative, Labour & Liberal Democrat parties and the BBC, ITV & Sky TV.

There will also be a chance for the so called fringe political parties to have their say and currently it is proposed that these parties will get their chance straight after the main event.

These fringe debates are likely to involve the Green Party, BNP and UKIP.

The exact format is yet to be decided, but it is believed that the basics will remain the same across the channels although ITV and Sky TV will naturally include breaks in their slots.

All that is required now is an Election, possibly on the 6th May.

This would mean the debates would start on the 2nd May.
