Think long term. The media want these events to become part of the normal election campaign. If they let them lapse now then it's bang to the wrangling and possibly never happening again.MikeL said:

The rules only require that they be offered a place, if they turn it down the debates can still go ahead.MikeL said:
They were outside the campaign period.Ninoinoz said:
Not so fast.MikeL said:Andrew Neil asks about the TV debates.
I reckon they are now off.
The Euro ones between Farage and Clegg took place without Miliband or Cameron.
The GE2015 ones can take place without Cameron.
During the campaign period other rules apply.
BBC is not going to give up 90 mins of prime-time BBC1 for a debate in which the PM doesn't feature.
They empty chair him to show their teeth once and they can lock it in long term.
The BBC is completely dependent on whoever is PM in 2016.
And it's not just the BBC after all.0 -

Nigel Farage:
"We are ripping lumps out of the old Labour vote in the north of England. The truth of what has happened in the North today is that if you are anywhere north of Birmingham , if you vote Conservative you get Labour.
