Petition Elect the Head of the BBC

More details

Since the BBC is the largest and most influential media group in Britain and is also a public body supported by a tax on all television owners in the UK then the head of the BBC should be independent and have public approval.

The best way to ensure that is to appoint the head of the BBC by a public vote.
