“They provide a chance to see and hear the party leaders set out their pitch to the country, debate directly with each other and take questions from voters.The broadcaster also plans interviews with other party leaders and a multi-party debate. But SNP leader and Scottish First Minister John Swinney said it was “ridiculous” that his party – the third largest in the Commons – had been excluded from the June 4 showdown.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
