Edit: I mean to say that there will be plenty of debates and chances for people to see the leaders. Having debates that are missing leaders is silly though.

The problem is the proliferation of boutique debates and parties making the arrangements. The previous consortium debates had the benefit of being nationally broadcast and a must-attend for all leaders. Having said that the format was getting long in the tooth vis a vis new communication channels
The right answer is to have an independent commission manage the debates
