If the above is not in jest, so what is your suggestion for News Coverage in the Nations and Regions then? Local News in England is only available through BBC1. In NI too for example I expect there will be local TV Election programmes given at least four seats of eighteen (Lagan Valley, South Antrim, East Belfast and North Down) could be close in their result. UTV now a shadow of it's former self does an hour here and there of Election programmes and can't be relied upon to stay with things as their resources aren't as available as they once were. A difficult time for the schedulers yes but let's see some innovative solutions to serve all who have to pay the licence fee.

The news coverage can be what it is like now to be honest. BBC 1 should be for sport, news, entertainment. There is a news and parliament channel for local election programs or put the local election programs on BBC 4/BBC 2, BBC 1 IMO needs to be a bit of variety.
