There are reports that Nicola Sturgeon and also a British journalist Ash Sarkar, the senior editor at Novara Media and lecturer in Global Politics at Anglia Ruskin University have chosen to turn down an invitation to attend a special Scottish version of BBC Question Time on 13th November due to the decision by the BBC to include Steve Bannon as one of the people participating in the programme. This raises a broader question regarding the line up of programmes such as Question Time which many of us have asked in the past. One classic example is the huge number of times that Nigel Farage has appeared on the show when his parties involvement is compared to the involvement of the Green Party, SNP and Plaid Cymru in our democracy. Another set of statistics can be assessed comparing the significant number of opportunities for representatives from a series of right wing ‘think’ tanks such as the Institute of Economic Affairs, the Taxpayers Alliance, Policy Exchanged and the Centre for Social Justice compared to left wing ones such as Demos and IPPR and the involvement of right wing journalists such as Isabel Oakshott and Camilla Tominey, along with their colleagues who may be less involved personally, but as a collective group are very evident when it compares to left wing journalists.
