What the petition asks
It has been announced that there will be no televised debates for the upcoming snap general election. We the signatories believe that for the country to make a proper choice this should be mandatory at all General Elections.
this is a chance for us to ask really important questions of those seeking the highest office in the land apart from the Monarch, we should never be denied this opportunity.
