Political parties outside of parliament feel hard-done-by for being excluded from TVNZ's election debates.
TVNZ yesterday announced it had changed the criteria for its leaders debate, paving the way for the Maori Party to be involved.
Now a group of other smaller parties have got together saying the debate criteria are still unfair, and stop voters from hearing from a wide range of candidates.
Those parties are the: Social Credit; Opportunities; New Conservatives; Outdoors; and Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Parties.
Geoff Simmons from TOP and Chris Leitch from Social Credit speak to Corin Dann.
