If you think that the law needs to change so that broadcasters are forced to ensure that all parties have a proportionate amount of airtime outside of election periods, there is currently a petition you can sign at https://bit.ly/4p0QXOY

Petition: Ensure plurality of political coverage across UK broadcast media at all times

We want to ensure that a plurality of views from all political parties in Westminster are represented and the nations parliaments are heard all year round, not just election times. The rules for coverage during elections should apply at all times.

I don't really understand what you are requesting. Is it proportionate to vote share in recent elections or latest polling figures? Or is it something else?

There's something sort of balance to be struck. You wouldn't want new parties to get no coverage because they are new. But obviously there are some parties given disproportionate air time. Reform vs Lib Dem springs to mind.
