Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Ofcom are out of whack excluding the Green Party from the Election Debate
"Ofcom issued a draft ruling that has the potential to have a significant impact on the coming general election campaign: it declared Ukip a "major party", while denying the Green Party the same status, basing its argument chiefly on "past electoral performance".

Nice one Lucy. Worth mentioning that OFCOM have no remit to do anything much; they don't even accept any role in overseeing the BBC, claiming that the BBC itself has a suffiently 'robust' complaints procedure itself! This will come as quite a surprise to anyone, like myself who has taken the BBC to task for bias, misinformation, and Islamaphobia. The BBC treats these complaints with arrogant derision. What is sad however, is that Cameron has wrongfooted Milibean, who SHOULD have been the one raising the issue of the Greens' exclusion. Now he just looks like Gordon Brown; a man with a sense of entitlement which is shared by no one else.

"A Show of Hands or is that Memberships"
The Green Party of England and Wales, with 29,000 members, when added to the almost 8000 announced this weekend by the Scottish Green Party is growing neck and neck with UKIP's 37,000 members, and not far behind the Lib Dems' rapidly falling 43,000. So even if only Green supporters notice their leader's absence from a TV debate, 37,000 is quite a lot of them by comparison.
