Nigel Farage urges UK broadcasters to press ahead with television debates



Nigel Farage has urged the UK’s broadcasters to “have the guts” to press ahead with their three party leaders’ debates as planned, even if it means empty-chairing the prime minister.
But the Ukip leader said he doubted whether the debates would now take place at all, accusing David Cameron and the Conservative party of trying to scupper them from day one.

Farage said: “It was clear to us from the very first meeting that the intention of David Cameron’s team was to destroy the debates and try and stop them from happening at all.


This shows, that the elite and those in charge, such as Prime Minister Mr. Cameron can now be challenged by oppositional party's openly, and due to the free press and freedom of speech, they can directly and indirectly be made accusations about, allowing audiences to get a variety of views - as opposed to the dominant view, that David Cameron. conservative leader -  for example would want them to have. People like Farage have become opinion leaders (2 step flow), allowing the audience to be influenced and see the alternative view of the political state.
