Jo Swinson would make a better Prime Minister than either Johnson or Corbyn.
Yesterday, the Liberal Democrats filed legal proceedings against ITV.
They have refused to include Jo Swinson in their Leaders Debate numerous times. This is despite Jo being the leader of the biggest and strongest Remain party in the country.
In its current format, the debate will be between just two men. One is Boris Johnson, who has repeatedly lied to the country about Brexit and has just made an election pact with Nigel Farage. The other is Jeremy Corbyn, a Eurosceptic since the 1970s.
Remainers will not have a voice in the debate, despite opinion polls show that more people now back Remain than Leave.
This is completely unacceptable.
Of course, the underlying reasons behind this format are clear for all to see.
Jo Swinson would make a better Prime Minister than either Johnson or Corbyn. Why on earth would either of these men accept a debate against someone they knew they would lose to?
However frustrating this situation may seem, all is not lost. We are taking the fight to court in the interests of fairness and equality.
This is not over.
Jo will be appearing in a televised debate with other leaders on the BBC. We are in discussions with Sky for a three-way head-to-head debate.
And, perhaps most tellingly of all, over 47,000 people have signed our online #DebateHer petition calling for ITV and BBC to include Jo in their debates.

This is not over. Not by a long shot.
As the biggest party of Remain, the Liberal Democrats will continue to represent the voice of Remain.We will fight for as long as it takes.
If we win our case in the coming weeks, Jo will be able to show the country that there is a choice for a brighter future. If we lose, then the country will know that the two other leaders are terrified of us.
Because we are the only party that will move us forward, rather than backwards. Together, we can show Corbyn and Johnson that we are the only party with a real Plan for the Future.
