Two minutes is given to every party that indicated to the Broadcasting Arbitrator that it did not want an allocation of paid broadcasting time. The remainder is divided among parties that were allocated paid broadcasting time and among parties that requested an allocation of paid broadcasting time. The division of this remaining time is based on a) the share of seats in the House of Commons, b) the share of the vote and c) the number of candidates endorsed
