In Britain the leaders of 7 political parties are preparing for the first and only live televised debate of the general election campaign. 

Conservative leader,  Prime Minister David Cameron will come face to face with his rival for the top job, Labour's Ed Miliband in the two hour debate.   However they will be joined by five other candidates...including the leaders of smaller parties like the Greens and regional parties from Wales and Scotland. 

The Conservative's junior government coalition partner, the Liberal Democrats will be represented by leader Nick Clegg while Nigel Farage of the anti-immigration and anti- Europe UKIP party will also take part. 

Vincent Moss, politcal editor of the right-leaning Sunday Mirror tabloid newspaper told LBC Radio that  many voters could be put-off by the format involving so many politicians.
