I think there should be two factors. First being that you are already represented in parliament, and the second being opinion polls. That would make a 5 way debate of Labour, Tories, UKIP, Greens and Lib Dems, now that the Greens are ahead of the Lib Dems!

Regional debates should always have regional parties represented, i.e. Plaid Cymru in Wales, and SNP in Scotland.
