More good news for the Greens this week, as it looks like they will be taking part in the televised leaders’ debates after all.

The Radio Times has an exclusive story that both the BBC and ITV have put in bids to broadcast seven-way panels including the party leaders of the Tories, Labour, Lib Dems, Ukip, Greens, Plaid Cymru and the SNP. This means that two of the TV debates will include Natalie Bennett, who has long been arguing the case for the Greens to participate, following Ofcom ruling against them being a “major party”.
