Several parties have had real success yet we hear hardly anything in our broadcast media about them. 4x as many Greens, 9x as many Lib Dems (highest in 100 years) SNP & Plaid leading polls but none seen rise in coverage.

Liberal Democrats, no thanks! Tory bedfellows and enablers.

This is not about one party. It’s about them all. They all deserve parity in a democracy and some are not getting any coverage despite huge success. Regardless of our personal views that’s not right

Lib Dems don't deserve the steam off a shite. No morals or principles. Joke of a party.

fairpoliticsnow.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s NOT about one party or another. It’s the principle that we should have plurality especially for parties WITH representation. The Greens, SNP, Plaid + the Lib Dems whether you like them or not have huge numbers (72 seats) in parliament but get little coverage compared to Reform (5 seats)

They're not overly concerned with what's fair.

fairpoliticsnow.bsky.social•1 day ago

We as the electorate ARE hence people signing this petition. Try to bury your prejudices. It’s about getting plural coverage in a democracy otherwise our political futures gets dictated to by binary agendas. One party is getting probably too much coverage atm. We have to guard against propaganda

anndraartur.bsky.social•1 day ago

Bury my prejudices? Yeah, let's downsize Scotland's constitutional question to the level of a petty prejudice. That sounds about right 👏

Have u read petition? It’s about plurality for ALL parties in our democracy - across all nations. This is not about Scottish Independence. It’s about making sure all parties inc SNP & Plaid get proper coverage across UK. ATM a lot of attention is going to only one party - Reform. Is that right?

anndraartur.bsky.social•1 day ago

They're democracy deniers. They deserve nothing. The only way I'll change my mind, and the only way they'll ever gain any respect in Scotland, is if they support the people of Scotland's right to choose their own future. Until they do that, they're no better than Tories / Labour / Reform.

Sorry this isn’t about the Lib Dems it’s about fairness for all parties. Stop hijacking the message

We are used to it in Scotland, but most sensible Scots can see through the BBC Scotland political coverage and bias they show.
IMO if the SNP do not win next years election then I will be even more sure that our political system is rigged

fairpoliticsnow.bsky.social•18 hours ago

This isn’t all about the BBC though. There are lots of other broadcasters that millions watch and pluralistic coverage is needed just as much on ITV, Ch4, Ch5, Sky etc too as well as radio networks

jas1160.bsky.social•17 hours ago

STV is nowhere near as biased as BBC Scotland in their political coverage, the others Ch4, Ch5, Sky etc aren't biased against the SNP, they just don't care about nor mention Scotland!

The main point of the petition is to make sure all the parties with representation get a proper share in the conversation all the time outside elections. Several have had huge surges in numbers but little or no regular coverage yet one party gets constantly mentioned. It feels like propaganda

Vote for the Independent candidate. Parties get plenty of coverage during elections.
