They may suggest they were following "public opinion" on the parties, the big 3, but they should attempt to cover other parties to make their appeal shine through, because many people may agree with The Green Party, UKIP or BNP, but not necessarily know what they stand for in greater detail. The general public are too lazy to follow manifestos or research parties, they like their information easy to access and to the point, and the BBC is one place that should provide for it.
