Petition · past parliament

David Cameron should debate Nigel Farage on EU membership in a live TV debate

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Nigel Farage has offered to debate Cameron live on TV on the claims made in the government leaflet sent to each household regarding the benefits of remaining in the EU. I believe Cameron will not accept this as Farage would expose the lies. Sign this to push for open debate on this important issue.

Why it was rejected

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

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. It would be up to television companies to arrange a debate and to invite people to attend.
