When an election comes, the Lib Dems will call for an expansion of sport forced to be on FTA TV, including ten Premier League games and ten Scottish Premiership games a year.
I don't think the list is too outlandish. PL games seem unlikely, though I think everything else bar the Solheim Cup and Ryder Cup has been shown live on FTA TV in recent memory.
