The three proposed TV debates by Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg are illegal.
At this instant in time, Gordon Brown as Prime Minister and leader of the Labour Parliamentary majority, David Cameron as leader of the Conservative
opposition and Nick Clegg as leader of the Lib-Dem rump, have the authority to enter into legal agreements to appear on TV and debate whatever subject
they wish according to their 78 rules.
When Gordon Brown goes to Buckingham Palace for a cuppa with Her Majesty and Parliament is dissolved, the rules change.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown becomes Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and is subject to immediate arrest for gross mismanagement of the British economy.
Gordon Brown's legal status is the same as any other candidate in the pending General Election. He has no legal authority to enter into agreements for exclusive
TV debates. Ditto for David Cameron and Nick Clegg.
Alex Salmond is not a canditate in the Westminster elections and has no status.
On the dissolution of Parliament, the agreement between Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Nick Clegg and the BBC, ITV and Sky becomes null and void as the signaturies have lost their legal status to enter into such an agreement.
There will be no TV debates as part of the 2010 General Election.
