The BBC's Toby Mason in Cardiff says: Plaid Cymru have just released the letter from their chief executive to Ofcom asking them to investigate whether ITV breached the Broadcasting Code by excluding them from the leaders debate on 15 April. It says: "Whilst, until now, we relied upon anecdotal evidence to confirm the view that this debate would influence the outcome of the election, we now have hard facts in the form of an opinion poll which shows a spectacular rise for the Liberal Democrats." It adds: "I urge you to consider retrospectively the impact that the televised ITV debate has had on levels of electoral support on the overall outcome of the election and to consider whether, as an arbitrator in matters of ensuring fairness and impartiality in broadcasting as defined above in your guidelines, the televised debate has not had a material impact on the overall result." On the subject of the Lib Dems' election prospects, the party's Graham Reed says they are an important voice. But the SNP's Alison Lindsay says the first-past-the-post system will disadvantage the Lib Dems, which is "sad". Labour's Ann McGuire says Nick Clegg had a good TV debate last week, but some of the recent opinion polling still shows Gordon Brown was the most "prime ministerial" leader. Tory Bob Dalrymple argues that the Lib Dems are not a "credible alternative government".
