LONDON — ITV’s televised general election leadership debate will go ahead without either Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn, after both the Conservative and Labour leaders ruled out taking part.
ITV on Wednesday announced that they have invited all the major party leaders to stage a debate on May 18th.
However, the prime minister has already ruled out taking part in any debate with other party leaders, insisting that she had already debated them in Parliament.
A spokesperson for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn today also ruled out taking part in any debate without the PM also agreeing to join him.
“Jeremy will not take part in an opposition leaders debate,” a spokesperson told Business Insider.
“The British people have the right see a head-to-head debate between the only two people who could form the next government – and the Prime Minister’s refusal is a sign of weakness, not of strength.”
A spokesperson for Corbyn explained to BI last week that they were not willing to “empty chair” the PM.
“I don’t think that having a debate among opposition parties in any way meets the objective of giving the British people a chance to see what the real choices are in this election campaign,” they told BI.
“Our challenge is to the Prime Minister to have the strength and guts to actually face a direct debate with Jeremy Corbyn on the issues facing the country, ” he said.
He added that: “If you’re talking about a debate about the possible outcomes of the general election then you’re talking about a debate between the Conservative party and the Labour party.”
An ITV spokesperson said that their debate would still go ahead.
“ITV will again broadcast a major debate programme in 2017, inviting the leaders of the seven parties that were represented in the 2015 ITV Leaders’ Debate — the Conservatives, Labour, SNP, Liberal Democrats, UKIP, Plaid Cymru and the Greens,” they said.
“The ITV Leaders’ Debate will air on Thursday May 18th at 8pm, and will be moderated by ITV News anchor Julie Etchingham. As in the previous two General Election debates, leaders will have the opportunity to make short opening statements at the beginning of the programme and closing statements at the conclusion of the debate. During the live debate, the leaders will have the opportunity to each in turn answer questions that are asked direct by members of the studio audience, before the floor is opened up to a period of free flowing debate.”
The BBC have yet to spell out their plans. However, party sources have told BI that the prime minister is likely to agree to a Question Time style session on the channel.
Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron on Wednesday challenged his rival party leaders to join him in the debates.
“Tim will be taking part in the debate and is looking forward to the opportunity to make the Liberal Democrat case. We believe this election is an opportunity to change the direction of our county,” he said.
“We expect our hard-Brexit opponents – Labour, UKIP and the Prime Minister, Theresa May to all take part and make their opposing case. Otherwise, we expect ITV to empty chairs them.
“Tim believes, in politics, you must have the courage of your convictions. Let’s see if May and Corbyn feel the same.”

NOW WATCH: Watch a Trump surrogate get shut down after calling Trump the ‘Martin Luther King of healthcare’

“A collection of essays from technologists and scholars about how machines are reshaping civil society” in the Atlantic:” Technology is changing the way people think about—and participate in—democratic society. What does that mean for democracy?…
We are witnessing, on a massive scale, diminishing faith in institutions of all kinds. People don’t trust the government. They don’t trust banks and other corporations. They certainly don’t trust the news media.
At the same time, we are living through a period of profound technological change. Along with the rise of bioengineering, networked devices, autonomous robots, space exploration, and machine learning, the mobile internet is recontextualizing how we relate to one another, dramatically changing the way people seek and share information, and reconfiguring how we express our will as citizens in a democratic society.
But trust is a requisite for democratic governance. And now, many are growing disillusioned with democracy itself.
Disentangling the complex forces that are driving these changes can help us better understand what ails democracies today, and potentially guide us toward compelling solutions. That’s why we asked more than two dozen people who think deeply about the intersection of technology and civics to reflect on two straightforward questions: Is technology hurting democracy? And can technology help save democracy?
We received an overwhelming response. Our contributors widely view 2017 as a moment of reckoning. They are concerned with many aspects of democratic life and put a spotlight in particular on correcting institutional failures that have contributed most to inequality of access—to education, information, and voting—as well as to ideological divisiveness and the spread of misinformation. They also offer concrete solutions for how citizens, corporations, and governmental bodies can improve the free flow of reliable information, pull one another out of ever-deepening partisan echo chambers, rebuild spaces for robust and civil discourse, and shore up the integrity of the voting process itself.
Despite the unanimous sense of urgency, the authors of these essays are cautiously optimistic, too. Everyone who participated in this series believes there is hope yet—for democracy, and for the institutions that support it. They also believe that technology can help, though it will take time and money to make it so. Democracy can still thrive in this uncertain age, they argue, but not without deliberate and immediate action from the people who believe it is worth protecting.
We’ll publish a new essay every day for the next several weeks, beginning with Shannon Vallor’s “Lessons From Isaac Asimov’s Multivac.”…(More)”
