Out of all the audience members who had declared an allegiance to a party, only ONE THIRD leaned towards the political right.

The
Ukip leader was roundly booed when he suggested the make-up of the BBC
election debate audience was left wing ‘even by the left-wing standards
of the BBC.’

Host David Dimbleby even fired a broadside at Farage
claiming the audience had been "carefully chosen” by independent polling
organisation ICM to represent the balance between all parties.

But, after persistent quizzing by Daily Express journalists, the BBC and ICM finally revealed the make-up of audience members.

ICM used the following audience ratio for those with a party preference:

Conservative 5

Labour 5

Lib Dem 4

Ukip 3

SNP 2

Green 2

Plaid 1.

This meant that just 36% of audience members swung to the right.

In addition one fifth of the audience was made up of ‘undecided voters’ from the local area around Westminster.

Nigel Farage blasted the audience and BBC when he was booed for his views on immigration

He
said: "There just seems to be a total lack of comprehension on this
panel and indeed this audience, which is a remarkable audience even by
the left-wing standards of the BBC."

Today Mr Farage said:
"Sometimes these things go wrong, sometimes you get groups who apply to
be on programmes who perhaps aren't as truthful on their applications as
they could be.

"In this case, the BBC gave the job to a polling
company called ICM who are famous for getting everything about Ukip
wrong and that I think was the mistake.”

He said it wasn’t the
first time a BBC audience had been aggressive towards Ukip. He added:
"The night of the by-election that Douglas Carswell won in Clacton with a
landslide, there was a Ukip representative - Patrick O'Flynn - on
Question Time in Clacton and the audience were deeply hostile to him."

He
also repeated claims of a bias audience on Sky News saying: "From the
off it was so completely obvious that we did not have an audience
reflective of public opinion.

"Regardless of whether you are a Ukip supporter or not, this [immigration] is something that has a huge response in the public."

A
BBC spokesperson said: "All the broadcasters and the political parties
agreed that the appropriate way to recruit audiences for debates was to
ask a respected independent polling organisation to do the job on our
behalf.
