It has been announced that the leader of UKIP, Nigel Farage has been invited to join the leaders debates on national TV before next years general election. However Natalie Bennett, leader of the Green Party, has been excluded from these debates. UKIP has just gained its first MP; the Greens have had an MP (Caroline Lucas) for 4 years. The Green Party beat the Liberal Democrats in the 2014 European Elections and is polling neck-and-neck with them in General Election opinion polls. In May 2014 more than 1.2 million people voted Green - more than 150,000 more than voted Liberal Democrat. In view of these stats its absolutely disgraceful to have to share this and ask you to petition the media. https://change.org/p/bbc-itv-channel-4-sky-include-the-green-party-in-the-tv-leaders-debates-ahead-of-the-2015-general-election
