They've had to change the set up so many times for one reason - David Cameron. They have probably put forward every possible configiration by now and the prime minister, you'd think a responsible person, has twisted around time after time. It comes across as a tad dictatory.
I think the person driving this is probably Craig Oliver - Cameron's director of comms; previously editor of the BBC's general election coverage. He knows Cameron has nothing to gain from the debates and also how best to play the broadcasters at their own game.
