Currently the provincial leaders debate on October 14th for the Saskatchewan election will only have the two party leaders represented from the NDP and Saskatchewan Party. This isn't fair and provides a very limited perspective on the choices to vote for.
To be fair the consortium of television broadcasters of CBC, Global TV and CTV should conduct a poll to choose at least one additional political party leader chosen from those running a full (or near full slate) to be in the debate. The winner of the poll would be the third leader to join the debate.

The momentum behind this call for a more inclusive debate has grown significantly. It is clear that the public expects a broader range of perspectives during the upcoming election cycle.

No women in debate. In 1935 PEI and 1987NB one Party won every seat with <60%. Denies all other citizens a voice. Right now a poll has Sask Party at 60%. To have a functioning democracy any Party with 32 candidates should be included. Really proves why Proportional Representation or Ranked ballots are desperately needed!
It's ridiculous that this is even an issue. Why wouldn't we want to hear from all the parties who are running! By acting as gatekeepers of who will be permitted to participate you are actually creating a less democratic environment for all Citizens.
The people of Saskatchewan have a right to hear about the policies of all parties. Exclusion is nothing but the fear of two male leaders of being upstaged by an articulate woman.
I want to hear what the Green Party will do for Saskatchewan and Canada. They need to be included in the Leader's debate.
If a party has it together enough to have a full slate of candidates, they should be taken seriously
The Saskgreens have worked hard for a democratic opportunity to join the debate, and voters deserve the chance to hear Naomi speak.

Party leaders should be at the table. Two party debates when more parties are running is a control over what the public hears. Naomi Hunter should be included in the debate.
