Disproportional Misrepresentation

Why was Miranda Green on This Week, but no one from the DUP, which has the same number of seats as the Lib Dems have?

The SNP has seven times that number.

For five years, the Lib Dems were a party of government but the media continued to subject them to no scrutiny.

No Lib Dem had a newspaper column, for example. Chris Huhne only acquired on on The Guardian for a while as a favour to an old friend who was on his uppers. By then, the Lib Dems will have cancelled his membership.

And now, this. Suddenly, they are important. But they are not. In fact, another party is at least as much so, while another again is very much more so.
