It's official. A deal between the broadcasters (BBC, ITV and BskyB) and the three main UK political parties (Labour, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats) have been given the green-light to have a series of leadership debates in the run-up to the general election.
Each debate (similar the US for the election) will last between 85 and 90 minutes, ITV goes first followed by Sky and then the BBC. Sky even pushed for this since September, so far they have 15,000 signitures and counting. The SNP and Plaid Cymru both wanted to be in the leadership debate.
