1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,350
his room in Belfast we're joined now by

2
00:00:01,890 --> 00:00:06,569
the leader of the respect party member

3
00:00:04,350 --> 00:00:07,890
of parliament George Gallup a George

4
00:00:06,569 --> 00:00:09,990
Galloway assume you think you should be

5
00:00:07,890 --> 00:00:13,530
included as well well i never thought

6
00:00:09,990 --> 00:00:17,400
i'd say this but i agree with nigel that

7
00:00:13,530 --> 00:00:19,050
Nigel Nigel Dodds I mean the the reality

8
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,230
is there's simply no logic or

9
00:00:19,050 --> 00:00:25,220
rationality to this new schema which has

10
00:00:22,230 --> 00:00:28,740
emerged you either have a debate between

11
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:31,619
the only two people who could emerge as

12
00:00:28,740 --> 00:00:34,260
prime minister or you have a debate

13
00:00:31,619 --> 00:00:38,010
involving all the parliamentary parties

14
00:00:34,260 --> 00:00:39,719
you cannot possibly justify having the

15
00:00:38,010 --> 00:00:42,030
Welsh nationalists and the Scottish

16
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:44,430
nationalists but not the Northern

17
00:00:42,030 --> 00:00:46,739
Ireland unionists and I don't believe if

18
00:00:44,430 --> 00:00:50,129
you're going to have them that you can

19
00:00:46,739 --> 00:00:52,440
justify leaving us out after all I've

20
00:00:50,129 --> 00:00:55,469
been elected six times to Parliament

21
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:59,730
been there almost 30 years twice as a

22
00:00:55,469 --> 00:01:01,199
respect candidate we represent a lot of

23
00:00:59,730 --> 00:01:04,890
people and we have exactly the same

24
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:08,640
number of MPs as the Green Party does

25
00:01:04,890 --> 00:01:11,729
and until very recently far more than

26
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:14,790
you Kip had so I mean you either have to

27
00:01:11,729 --> 00:01:17,340
have it one way or the other so if

28
00:01:14,790 --> 00:01:20,970
they're going to parade the Seven Dwarfs

29
00:01:17,340 --> 00:01:23,580
whether it's at the o2 or not I want the

30
00:01:20,970 --> 00:01:24,780
chance to stride that stage two well

31
00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:26,700
you're coming up we've got we've got

32
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:31,079
lawyers working on it now are you coming

33
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:34,020
on as this evening duty all right I

34
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:35,400
suppose one of the considerations maybe

35
00:01:34,020 --> 00:01:38,070
you're quite right the Greens have only

36
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:41,310
got one MP and you have one MP in

37
00:01:38,070 --> 00:01:42,840
yourself but I suppose the Greens will

38
00:01:41,310 --> 00:01:44,939
be running a lot more candidates than

39
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,820
than respect well no one's asked us how

40
00:01:44,939 --> 00:01:51,930
many candidates we are running and I do

41
00:01:47,820 --> 00:01:53,659
that yes kindly all right how many 25 at

42
00:01:51,930 --> 00:01:56,280
the moment and we hope it will be

43
00:01:53,659 --> 00:01:57,930
considerably more and if I could get on

44
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,290
the stage and the leaders debate I

45
00:01:57,930 --> 00:02:04,020
assure you we'd get a right few voice so

46
00:02:01,290 --> 00:02:06,060
it's just not fair this scheme that has

47
00:02:04,020 --> 00:02:08,910
come forward but neither is it logical

48
00:02:06,060 --> 00:02:11,039
or rational and won't stand up to any

49
00:02:08,910 --> 00:02:12,900
court examination in my view and you

50
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:14,100
said I think they're that you are you

51
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:16,920
have consulted lawyers

52
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:18,300
the legal action is a possibility of not

53
00:02:16,920 --> 00:02:20,100
a probability during other way

54
00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:22,880
absolutely yes all right we'll leave it

55
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:25,880
there thanks for joining us thank you um

56
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,880
no
