Make our prime minister do a one on one TV debate on the EU

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Do you think David Cameron should have a one on one tv debate over our EU membership? Sign the petition if you think our prime minister should debate why we should stay in the EU against say Daniel Hannan or Nigel farage.
As our PM surely he should be prepared to do this shouldn't he?

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.
