LONDON’S Green MEP Jean Lambert has backed a campaign calling for the Green Party to take part in any TV ‘leaders’ debates’ ahead of the next UK General Election.

“It’s a simple matter of democracy,” she said.

“Recent polling has shown that most people want to hear from all the main national parties ahead of a General Election, and accept that we have moved on from the days when the only viable choices at election time were from the three biggest parties.

“You can’t have real democracy when there is unequal access to the media.”

Anyone supporting the campaign to see access to media in the UK broadened beyond the three largest parties can sign a petition here .
