Social Credit’s TV time
Sir,—Mr Lange’s call for the reduction of Social Credit’s TV time is regrettable. In a genuinely democratic election all serious candidates would receive equal time. While the Social Credit Party fields as many candidates as Labour or National it should receive equal time. Mr Lange’s argument that those who get most votes and have most power should always get most free TV time is basically an argument for protecting existing power from any serious challenges. Those of us who do not belong to the Establishment are getting sick of a system always run by the Establishment for the Establishment. It is no longer fashionable to talk about the old system of the aristocracy and the common people but when one has never had a well-paid job one sometimes wonders whether there is much practical difference between the old social system and the current one supported by Mr Lange. — Yours, etc., MARK D. SADLER. June 23, 1983.
