  The Electoral Commission and the BBC agreed that to qualify for an election broadcast a party has to stand a minimum of 12 candidates in at least six constituencies
  The Workers Party said this rule was "effectively putting a price tag on political airtime and also ensuring that the larger, better financed, parties can perpetuate the political circus without serious challenge or alternative views being aired".
  The party said it plans to meet with both the BBC and the Electoral Commission after polling next Thursday.
