In 2010 the hosts of the general election TV debates were all white middle aged men. The three clashes between Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg (three other white middle ages men) were refereed by the BBC's David Dimbleby, ITV's Alastair Stewart and Sky News' Adam Boulton.
This week the House of Lords urged broadcasters to shake up their programmes for the 2015 editions by choosing ethnic minority presenters.
In a report published on Tuesday, the Lords communications committee said: "We respect the broadcasters’ independence. However, in giving food for thought, we recommend that the broadcasters make sure they consider the balance of gender and ethnic diversity among the moderators.
"We recognise that the choice of moderator for each debate is a matter of each broadcaster’s own editorial judgement. Should broadcast election debates take place in 2015 and beyond, we recommend that the broadcasters ensure they exercise that judgement, reflecting our concern, and mindful of the disappointingly uniform outcome of their decisions in 2010."
With that in mind, who could the TV stations pick? Her are five potential options.
TV Debate Hosts
Krishnan Guru-Murthy(01 of05)
Open Image ModalThe veteran Channel 4 News presenter would surely top the list of a non-White debate host. In 2010 he chaired the station's 'Ask the Chancellors' debate and could easily step up. He may miss out because he doesn't work for Sky, ITV or the BBC. However Channel 4 are making a pitch to be involved in the debates this time around.
Mishal Husain(02 of05)
Open Image ModalThe Radio 4 Today programme host would be an ideal pick for the BBC debate. Husain's day job involves interviewing leading politicians and has a background in TV, so would have no trouble taking over from David Dimbleby.
Rageh Omaar(03 of05)
Open Image ModalThe ITV News International Affairs Editor could step into Alistair Stewart's role. The experienced journalist and presenter has worked for the BBC and Al Jazeera English. His foreign correspondent experience would also bring a new angle to the questioning.
John Pienaar(04 of05)
Open Image ModalIf not Husain, then Pienaar? BBC Radio 5 Live's veteran chief political correspondent presents the station's Sunday 'Pienaar's Politcs' programme. He also presents the station's 'Question Time Extra' show so is more than used to controlling and quizzing arguing politicians.
Faisal Islam(05 of05)
Open Image ModalBy 2015 Faisal Islam will have bedded in as the new Sky News political editor. The former economics editor of Channel 4 News would be perfectly positioned to chair a debate on austerity Britain. But will Adam Boulton, who is still at Sky, want to give up the prime time slot?
