Nigel Farage calls latest 'Debate' proposals "An utter farce."
The Leader of UKIP has slammed the latest announcement
by the broadcasters to host only one seven-way leaders'
debate and turn previously announced plans for three
debates into a 'Challengers' Debate', a question time style
event and long form interviews.

"This announcement is so far from the original proposals of proper
General Election Leaders' debates that were promised to the public. The
broadcasters should be ashamed. They've kowtowed to manipulation from Downing

different from typical election coverage already taking
place.
"Essentially there are no longer what anyone could sensibly call Leaders'
Debates. It's an utter farce.
