David Cameron and Nigel Farage to hold at least two televised one to one debates

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

The EU referendum is the most important referendum in the UK for generations, and will decide the future of this country. The Prime Minister has been advocating EU reform and the results of his work should be properly debated with the main focal point of the Brexit side, Nigel Farage.

In order for the UK public to be properly informed about what the EU referendum means for this country, televised debates of the same or similar format to the debates between Nigel Farage and Nick Clegg would allow the public to see both sides of the argument. It would give David Cameron the opportunity to explain his suggested reforms for the EU.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The decision to schedule this debate would be for the broadcasters to make, not the Government or Parliament.
