What's membership got to do with it? Means diddly squat if next to no one votes for you, and very few voting intention polls put the Greens above 10%. Though I see no reason the SNP or Greens should be excluded, however much I'd like to see and hear less of Bennett. -

Why does the opinion of someone who lives in Germany matter for a UK election.
If there is a Scottish debate I'm sure the SNP will be part of it. As they don't stand in the 591 seats outside Scotland attending a whole UK debate would be utterly pointless.
Oh and certain people want the Greens in the debate. Labour want UKIP there as they believe UKIP hurts the Conservatives, the Conservatives want the Green party there as they know the Greens are rapidly eating into the Left wing Labour vote.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
