The TV debates are important because most people probably just vote by what the editorial of the Daily Mail or The S*n says. People might get a bit more perspective from a live debate.
The fact that Theresa DisMay has declined to participate yet has committed to meetings with Murdoch and Dacre shows that she thinks propaganda carries more value than argument.

However, what really needs to happen for a more representative democracy is somehow get the under 30s to vote in greater numbers and a switch to a PR system. That's probably gonna be Labour's only chance after Sturgeon manages get Scexit from the UK.
I don't blame the Scots for wanting out. The Tories have taken the piss for a long time and no-one down here seems to be bothered. Unreal.
