But that's true in much of Europe, yet virtually all European countries have televised debates featuring party leaders.
Though a number of countries also have additional debates themed on specific policy areas, which rather than featuring the party leaders, instead feature their party spokespeople on that subject. So you get an Economy debate with the party finance leads etc. Works well at actually informing the electorate about party policies.
Daily Politics did something like that last time, and C4 had the Chancellor's Debate - will be interesting to see whether DP will be doing that again and whether we'll see another Chancellor's Debate.
I strongly favour the former option. In this country we vote for the individual local candidate, it's not a presidential system where we vote for the leader.

Another can of worms opening.
