POLL: Should PM David Cameron take part in the TV election debates?

It’s a question that has been asked since the PM announced he would not take part unless broadcasters agreed for the Green Party to have a platform as well as UKIP’s Nigel Farage.

The PM has now announced that he will take part in one debate, despite there being three that have been planned.

We asked the people of Somerset whether they think the PM should participate.

Have your say by taking the poll below. 

ALAN Jones said: “I think that it’s up to him. He knows what is in his best interests and if he thinks this is it, then let him get on with it and not take part.”

KEVIN said: “I think he should take part in all of the debates. He is running for re-election. He shouldn’t be seen to be bowing down to broadcasters or other political parties.”

BEN Randal said: “I don’t know. I think you can’t really trust anything at the moment because they say one thing but then they turn around and say something else. There’s still time for him to change his mind.”

PATRICIA Gale said: “I’ve been hoping someone would ask me about this. I think that because he’s the Prime Minister, he should be able to do what he believes to be right. He was elected by the people to stand up in what he thinks is right and if it’s not taking part in the debates then that’s fine. Nobody should make him do it.”
