Although I'm a Kipper, I have to say that they have a point. The
Scottish Green party did better than Ukip at the last election and may
well beat them this time too, so it's hard to justify Farage being on
again. Galloway's chair should have been given to the Scottish Green,
and an extra chair brought on for a Lib Dem, and Otto Inglis should have
been on instead of Farage.
It should be standard practice to have all the sizeable parties'
candidates on Question Time before a by-election to Westminster or one
of the regional assemblies. I suspect that the South Shields woman might
have lost the recent by-election if anyone had actually heard her speak.
And if she refused to go on, they shouldn't have let another Labour
figure take her place.

Surely, there is more to deciding the make up of the panel than who got
the most votes last time there was an election.
But anyway, Scottish Question Times are always "provincial" and while
the arguing about independence and how terrible the English are can
sometimes be fun to watch, it's good to have a mix of UK panelists to
stop the whole show disappearing up its collective navel.
