Debates aren't a democratic right. This is only the second election we may have them. They're a political campaigning tool as so they will be viewed as such by the political parties. Cameron doesn't want them because he doesn't suit him and Miliband desperately wants them because the format suits him.
Cameron would have rather been seen as a coward than allow Miliband to be seen as a prospective Prime Minister.

Not a massive fan of the debates tbh, three hours on TV do not a statesman make, I mean everyone agreed with nick during them but no one has agreed with him since
