First Minister Alex Salmond tells Original 106 the exclusion of the SNP from TV debates ahead of the General Election in 2015 has no "intellectual or democratic basis".

The main broadcasters have suggested holding 3 of them.

One would involve UKIP's Nigel Farage - alongside the Lib Dems, Labour and the Conservatives - but there's no representatives from the SNP, which has six MPs.
