Please consider signing Change.org's petition to get the Green Party included in pre-election debate:
Petitioning BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky 2
Include the Green Party in the TV Leaders' Debates ahead of the 2015 General Election.
A few weeks ago it was announced that the UKIP leader, Nigel Farage, had been invited to join a TV debate with David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg ahead of the next general election.
18 year old Robyn started a petition calling on the broadcasters to "stop playing into the old boys' club of politics" by excluding the only female leader, Natalie Bennett of the Green Party, from the debates. She said the Greens have one MP just like UKIP and should be represented fairly. Over 200,000 people have already signed her petition.
The Green Party will be meeting with broadcasters of the debates to discuss their case. Robyn wants to demonstrate to the TV channels that if Natalie Bennett was asked to join the leaders' debate, the public would watch.
Will you sign Robyn's petition to show the broadcasters that you think Natalie Bennett should be included alongside other party leaders?

This is not because she is a woman, but because the Green Party have much more progressive policies on many issues, such as Fracking. _________________ 'And he (the devil) said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them'.
