All views need to be aired in TV Brexit debate.

If the May-Corbyn debate goes through  a  Plaid Cymru has warning  that it would be be "a democratic disaster" is not just hype.

The BBC impartiality has bee called into question ever since the Referendum with the Today's John Humphreys and the selection of not only the panel but the audience on question time often cited.

The prime minister has accepted the BBC's offer to take part in a debate on Brexit on Sunday 9 December.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has yet to confirm if he will take part, saying he prefers an alternative proposed by ITV.

Plaid Cymru said the BBC had a "responsibility to reflect all voices". The BBC stressed it would "announce further details soon".

There have already been calls for other voices to be part of any Brexit TV debate.

Mrs May has rejected the idea, saying she and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn represented almost 90% of MPs in the Commons between them.

Hardly the approach of someone who talks about our precious Union where in Scotland where a clear majority backed remain the largest party by far is the SNP.

There is also the fact that the Majority of Mr Corbyn MPs do not share his hard brexit views ans god knows how many Tory MPs agree with Mrs Mays stance wit Conservative MP Bernard Jenkin said a Brexiteer must be on the panel. 

Scottish National Party leader Nicola Sturgeon had been quick to respond to suggestions Mrs May was considering challenging Mr Corbyn to a debate ahead of the Commons vote on the deal, asking "how about it?"

And Plaid Cymru echoed the SNP's views that the leaders of the two main parties could not represent the British public as a whole: "It can hardly be much of a debate when both of them are committed to Brexit."

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable demanded to be involved, pointing out that neither the Tories nor Labour had called for another Brexit referendum.

And Green Party MP Caroline Lucas, who is also pushing for a new referendum, said any debate "must be cross-party, featuring a diverse range of voices representing every nation, as well as every stance on this deal and our relationship with the EU".

There could also be a strong argument for bot the DUP and Sinn Féin, to take part .

Even if this would make the debate unwieldy  the idea that there is no one who would argue for the Remain side is an appalling attitude.

Certainly Nicola Sturgeon could on her own speak for not only Scotland but the rest of us in the debate, but with the possibility  of a second referendum looming or/resulting in a General Election we need to see all the parties we could be voting for stand.
