We feel this is important as we deeply value democracy and the plurality of voices. We are very concerned about the perceived lack of fair political coverage outside of elections.

We do not think that the current rules ensure equal or fair coverage of different political parties outside elections. We want ensure parties with representation are shown for the work they are performing all year round. We feel that this could result in citizens possessing a broader perspective on their representatives' activities, which we think is essential for an informed, functioning, democracy. We also want a review to look into how broadcasters ensure coverage never verges on propaganda for one political party or another.
