+Chris Lowe are you really that ignorant? You can see it everywhere he can't even keep his own cabinet in line let alone his party. Many of his party are even openly anti Corbyn which is something unheard of. Not only that but he can't even do the Pm question without looking like he is going to cry.
We are only taking 20,000 in the next FIVE YEARS. This is nothing compared to other European countries. Britain needs to open it's doors to the people in need but xenophobia had been cast on the British public by UKIP. Sorry for the rant being so long :P
+Harry Why do 4,000 people come here a year surely they should stay in there country and if there is a problem in there country (Isis as an example) they should destroy the source of the problem
+Daniel Cameron They come here for a better life, and that doesn't just mean benefits, for most of them it means the ability to work honestly and raise their family without fear of religious, racial or any other persecution, without fear of death, or disease and a myriad of other things that may or may not exist where they are. In Syria the opposition to ISIS are the government of Assad who is killing everyone in order to quell a rebellion and who are killing more people than ISIS are, then there's the rebels who are being slaughtered by both Assad/Russia and ISIS and who are getting no support from any one except a handful of US airstrikes and the local Kurds who they have 100 years of animosity with and who are too busy trying to protect themselves to worry about people who have denied them a free Kurdistan. Why do some Brits move to America and some Americans move here? They believe a better life will be had. At the moment Syria is a battlefield of a dozen factions and a stray shell from any of them could wipe out all of your children on any day if you were to stay there. If the empty house next to me had a choice between someone happy to live on the dole and who lets their kids do as they please OR a family of Syrians glad to have work and raising their kids to do well at school it would be no contest for me. Call me whatever the latest derogatory term for a liberal is, but I would be it, I'd pick the family that were going to contribute to this great country I'm so proud of. In fact I would even offer to collect them from the station and ask if a boat could take the dole scum and his waste-of-space children to Syria in return.
+AFGuidesHD Which would be witty if not for the fact that Caroline Lucas was voted Constituency MP of the Year by her less-conscientious peers. The one thing you can be sure of, whatever your attitude to her politics, is that she will not be skiving and that she will always be where she is supposed to be, for her constituents. She actually increased her majority in 2015, and that was in spite of much local dissatisfaction with a Green-led council at the time.
This was a very amusing sketch. However, reshoot or cut out the last part if you want it to get the fullest impact. Caroline Lucas can do that stuff without coming off as preachy, negative and patronising; sadly, this candidate or actor cannot. Also, someone give that Jeremy Corbyn lad a big hug! Send in a Green kid to stop the bullies. Don't be a bystander!
+Jake Bell Watson Yeah kid, Tony Blair sending thousands of soldiers to die in an alien land so that America could overthrow leaders, gee thanks labour...
+crownsedge I've suffered the Green Party firs-hand - being from the only constituency to vote these lot in - so trust me when I say that they are awful and ineffective.
+tcpgblizzard No, you suffered your local Labour party getting all butthurt at losing "left" votes, forcing the Greens (with no overall control) to seek help from other parties including Tories. True story.
As much as I despise your politics this was actually a piece of masterful satire. If you could create a documentary-style series like this I would certainly enjoy it. Just make sure to cut out the bit after 2:36, that was really silly; and also satire yourself now and again along with the other smaller parties.
+Alex Boston Expand on why you "despise" their politics? At the very least, what is despicable about wanting a clean world not run on greed? Because sure as anything you're not getting it with this bunch of venal and mendacious pocket liners.
+Crewedaddy Because of their ignorance to the bigger picture. Sure, they care about the environment, I care about the environment -- but only to the extent to where to remains beneficial to our nation. Unnaturally forcing an economy-wrecking policy base to 'save the environment' will most likely achieve naught but push people to right where we will consume and produce more fossil fuels to get our economy back on track. I am about doing good rather than doing what feels good. Improvements can be made on Tory policy as well, I admit that, but not to the extent the Greens need it. Good day.
funnily enough Alex you may want to look into tidal energy - it was invented in the UK you know? your government is currently banging on about investing in technology as being our economic future. as for your fossil fuel comment - you seem to fail to realise that our gas comes from Europe which is why we have millions shivering at home this winter. if prices continue to rise as they are then using our own fossil fuels will become essential at some point. and that will be sad - because we don't really have many fossil fuels left - north sea oil wont last forever and fracking has already been proven to be a total disaster in the US. and no - I have never voted for the green party before you accuse me. but I am absolutely certain that there is a lot of money to be made in renewables. and for an island like ours - we could really profit big from this.
This advert is IMMENSE! Regardless of political beliefs, you have to say this is very clever and it really makes a point! Just hope it reaches enough people.
Another fantastic political broadcast by you guys. You've got my vote, policies are great, a united party, democratic, cares for the environment and stands up for what is right. #greensurge
+Morys Hitchings No it's meant to be a scathing attack, attacking them about attacking each other, while claiming they're the best party because it doesn't attack anyone... even though they just attacked everyone else
I would suggest that this advertisement campaign video ended after 2:36. It would be both more impactful and let the viewers think. The bit you have recorded after 2:36 seems very cheesy and unnecessary, but great video. Loved it.
Well done, thank you Green Party for this great insight to politics. It's a shame we didn't see the green party in the video but I suppose only 1 MP would be pretty boring to watch. At least there is no infighting with one person! In my opinion, the Green Party shouldn't be poking fun at the two main parties as the Greens will never NEVER get into power. More chance of Nicola Sturgeon becoming Prime Minister.
I'll never be pm bro. Neither will you. Should we just shut up and never ask for better? Is that your actual opinion? That because we will never personally have the power to change the world, that we should allow those who do to change it for the worst? Is it?
Aaron CASA-GRANDE I was waiting for someone to tell me that I won't become PM. Obviously I won't. But some people will be worse and better than others! Whilst there are a few people who have the chance to take control over the country, let's just choose the best for the job? I know that the Green party will not do a good job of running a country, albeit the United Kingdom. The problem with a lot of people is that they are voting for the people who they like the most and how many benefits ect they dish out. As a country we need to be electing people who will run the country like a business, seeking economic growth first, not (I'm sorry, but) welfare and social goods. As we have found out from previous labour governments, giving everyone benefits for doing nothing only loses money .
+mandiR I am also feeling the Bern but trust me Labour under Jeremy Corbyn is the party of the working people and change to a more fair society read this: alexsangle.freeblog.site/blog/the-green-party-and-why-i-m-not-in-it
The majority of benefits payed out to people of working age are in-work benefits. Similarly, many economically inactive people are supporting others who are.
Well over a million people last year and a million the year before. They're the second biggest party and official opposition in many cities around England in places live Liverpool and Bristol and have an MP who won the best MP of the last term out of everyone! They're actually really good
+Sean Coyne they are horrible would destroy the country if they had any real power it's so easy to look good when you don't have to make decisions that are important
DatPodolski Well its not like the Green Party has any insight in the main parties. I suggest attacking UKIP instead of possible allies or we'll end up with more tories, just look what happened with the Lib Dems
Attack UKIP to what end? Draw Ukip voters? We want to take away from the establishment, not cause a third party rucuous. Like you say, we'll end up with more Tories this way.
+Brandon Renard Didn't Cameron say that Nick Clegg was the biggest joke in politics before they made a coalition? I don't think people much care about who says what in these sort of things, they care about power.
Seems to mock Jeremy Corbyn somewhat, who anyone would have considered quite sympathetic to Green causes. Quite a childish PPB overall, and quite boring when the grown up started speaking. Quite a confusing political ad to simply dismiss all politicians as being childish and 'in-fighting'. Comes across as very holier than thou and not to be taken seriously...
So you mock other parties for being childish, showing how the debate is rarely about policy. Yet in YOUR party political broadcast you do exactly the same thing, mocking the opposition, and only discussing one policy! (Fracking) Well done Green Party, you played yourself
That was pretty funny. I still hate the Green Party loonies however, and I bet these kids will resent the fact that they were forced to represent views that they will disagree with when they are free thinking adults. Leave children out of politics and religion.
Is this the only way the left understand politics? Aimed at the sort of people who get their political beliefs from John Oliver, The Last Leg and buzzfeed, wont have the attention span if we are serious, so just make a video that is super funneh and great satire, didn't work for you last time, wont work for you this time.
I love this. I also love the Green party. Unfortunately I love Jeremy Corbyn slightly more. Keep up the good work though, we need a strong Green Party for the sake of all of us.
"childish isn't it, this political in fighting isn't helping anyone and while the other parties throw around insults we've been working hard for you" she says after watching a the Green Party have spent there time and resources on to make fun of the other parties instead of working hard for us. Good video but oh the irony
True, they are a complete paradox, shunning all forms of viable cheap fossil fuel energy and yet claiming that they have some magic cheap renewable energy for everyone. Still, doesn't change the fact that I thought this advert was pretty funny, maybe they're not good at self analysis but they do satire of other parties pretty well.
People are saying the Greens are a terrible party. Can someone feel me in as to why this is the case? What have the current members done that is bad and makes them unelectable?
+Chris Mendes The Green Party is 100% against TTIP. The Green Party wants EU reform, they are just not naive enough to believe that anything actually changes by leaving if you want to maintain trade.
***** it's worth reading policy.greenparty.org.uk/eu.html In many ways I agree with your argument but I draw very difficult conclusions. There might well come a time under a green government (were one to exist) that the UK could leave the EU, but that would mean that the necessary reform could not be made to happen. Can you name a country which trades with the EU that doesn't relinquish control of at least some of its trade policy? There really is no incentive for the EU to allow the UK to sell in the EU without some kind of tariff imposed unless we (like Norway) agree to full access and movement of goods. Have a read of www.niesr.ac.uk/blog/after-brexit-how-important-would-uk-trade-be-eu#.VwVHoKDTXqA the EU takes nearly 50 percent of our exports. We have been trying to get reform but not the kind we need, and not the kind the greens want. The UK government is a strong proponent of TTIP, so I'm not at all sure our trade policy is safe in their hands. I've been trying to explain TTIP to my mp and he remains oblivious. So if we're going to leave let's leave with a plan and after trying out the alternatives. The EU could be great following the model in the green party manifesto.
To be fair, Jeremy Corbyn didn't say that about Cameron's Mum in PMQs, and he's done more than most to stop the personal attacks and Punch & Judy politics at Westminster. I don't tend to like negative campaigning personally, but this is very funny and memorable
+Brittany Hutchings Aye, I find Jeremy to be a refreshing change from the C3P0 hand-politics of the past 20 years, seriously watch David Cameron's hands when he talks... or any man from the Eton club for that matter. Always coming at you with the side of their palm, it looks like they are practicing slow-motion Judo on an invisible assailant.
"We’re the only party that offers a true alternative to the business-as-usual and believes in an economy that gives everyone their fair share" But yet you support the EU? Supporting the EU is business as usual for UK politicians. Any political party that does nothing to protect the sovereignty of it's nation, is not worth a vote by a single citizen.
+kitan alabi exactly, and the UK only used to have an empire because they just turned up at a country and said we're in charge now, and they killed anyone who would try and stand up to them. The rest of people would be made slaves, so the empire mainly ran on slave and material trade. So how was Britain ever great if they put so many people into slavery?
+Adam Ahmed-Keyte learn your history, the coastal towns wer always attacked in britain, by arab slave boats, egypt has slaves, india has slaves, uk abollished slavery
-> Spends three minutes depicting other politicians as children. -> Decries them for "throwing around insults". Anyone else notice the hypocrisy? Truly this is the new, progressive, kinder politics.
2:38 "oh look, it's a short haired woman in a less than formal suit. that means it's time to stop the video because a green party activist is about to open her mouth"
Depicting everything and everyone working within the political system is childish, why should we vote for you if you aren't willing to take things seriously?
And it juxtaposes their entire point of them arguing when they're entering an argument by calling everyone else childish, I ask that the Greens take a closer look at the advertising they'll be judged for. Additionally, trying to show them as the grown up party, you are going to be destroyed by political comedians, it may get your name out there, just for all the wrong reasons, perhaps following a few tactics from Donald Trump.
I'd rather hear a Party election broadcast that outlines your policies and how you intend to implement them rather than seeing you stoop to making the opposition seem childish in order to elevate yourselves. This bashing of the opposition doesn't make you stronger it makes you petty.
Love it, except the greens aren't actually in it. You need a big-faced blonde kid going 'I'm from AUSTRALIA! But I came here by boat.. honest'. And the bit at the end sounds strangely dubbed, although the lipsyncing is admirable.
The comments really are a scream to read. The like and share count speak for themselves though, so here's to our assemblies saturated with Greens after May.

yes lol
'Whilst the other parties throw around insults' they say whilst making a video to insult the other parties
+Jon Lei the left have a chronic lack of self awareness
"I can do anything, I'm the Prime Minister." Never was a truer word spoken.
This is how political advertising should be done
THIS IS ACTUALLY AMAZING THO zac and sadiq at the end killed me omg
This is actually hilarious
Is is me, or does the 'reassuring hand crossing' woman at the end seem just as silly?!
this is hilarious
I'm voting for Theresa because the amount of illegal immigrants getting in is shocking.
are you talking about Britain?

I'm pretty sure green party have like 1 person in parliament and only run for election in Brighton or some shit,
nah this is obviously some private school for all these rich politician children, clearly the greens would be at a state school.

+Don't Cry, Craft Hes a bit of a twat though.
I don't agree with the Green Party. But "Jeremy H is avoiding the junior doctors." made me crack up.
as a non British person who is Jeremy h?
+OchitheWarloch Jeremy Corbyn is Britain's new Labour Leader and he literally didn't SING the national anthem.
+Death Lord That's Jeremy C. Jeremy H is the Conservative Government's Secretary for Health.
OchitheWarloch Jeremy H is the Secretary of Health, who has been cutting the junior doctors' funds, making them protest.
Oh ok, lol

When you realize 😂😂
Problem with this is using a bunch of kids who don't know what any of this stuff means, having said that, they know more than Green members, lol.
These kids are still more mature than the adult versions. Great job!
That was pretty funny. I still hate the Green Party loonies however, and I bet these kids will resent the fact that they were forced to represent views that they will disagree with when they are free thinking adults. Leave children out of politics and religion.

Wouldn't surprise me if they know more about making videos than developing policies.

pretty sure tories already bought children into it when they began cutting into the lifeline of millions of young people.
Well it's just miserable how accurate this is to real life
That's basically what modern-day politicians are.
Five year olds.
NO.
Grahamhg Great jokes guys
+master blob ;)
Say that to Jacob Rees Mogg
This is the best political party broadcast ever.
Is this the only way the left understand politics? Aimed at the sort of people who get their political beliefs from John Oliver, The Last Leg and buzzfeed, wont have the attention span if we are serious, so just make a video that is super funneh and great satire, didn't work for you last time, wont work for you this time.
I love this. I also love the Green party. Unfortunately I love Jeremy Corbyn slightly more. Keep up the good work though, we need a strong Green Party for the sake of all of us.
+Geraint Evans Ironic
+Old Guy Doing Yoga how so
+Geraint Evans You called him retarded but you used 'your'
Geraint Evans Thanks for the input.
The Greens should just quit politics and work on making this a fully-fledged series. At least then they'd be successful in something.
You have to have the mental age of a child to vote green.
And you'd have to be completely brain-dead to vote for the Tories.
So long as you don't rely on the disability benefit...

+Yung Lean UKIP? Really?
"childish isn't it, this political in fighting isn't helping anyone and while the other parties throw around insults we've been working hard for you" she says after watching a the Green Party have spent there time and resources on to make fun of the other parties instead of working hard for us. Good video but oh the irony
No I think the green party is more of a joke than this
True, they are a complete paradox, shunning all forms of viable cheap fossil fuel energy and yet claiming that they have some magic cheap renewable energy for everyone. Still, doesn't change the fact that I thought this advert was pretty funny, maybe they're not good at self analysis but they do satire of other parties pretty well.
Oh and the mini Labour MPs playing with rockets/trident. Brilliant ad until it gets to the Greens bit.
Poor Jemery!
People are saying the Greens are a terrible party. Can someone feel me in as to why this is the case? What have the current members done that is bad and makes them unelectable?
Green by name , bright red by nature, they wouldn't dare make a broadcast that reveals the frightening truth about their agenda.
Although there is the publicly available website full of policies that their members have voted for...?
+Adam Lloyd yeah it's not like people can actually read about it or anything. Oh wait....
This sums up politics brilliantly. A bunch of little children pretending they know what they’re doing.
This did make me chuckle, well done Green media team! :')
I agree the Conservatives behave like children, but Corbyn doesn't deserve to be portrayed as one.
The Green Party have finally found something that they're actually good at, making children's videos!
if only the other four major parties had some constructive purpose, eh?
The green party would have sold all the books and computers and spent the money on rainbow-coloured flags.
it started to get a bit silly after 2:36
+Mark U I think it was alright until 2:55
+Chris Mendes because that isn't what TTIP does if you read any of the major analysis of it (not just what 38 degrees writes)
+Chris Mendes
The Green Party is 100% against TTIP. The Green Party wants EU reform, they are just not naive enough to believe that anything actually changes by leaving if you want to maintain trade.
***** it's worth reading policy.greenparty.org.uk/eu.html
In many ways I agree with your argument but I draw very difficult conclusions. There might well come a time under a green government (were one to exist) that the UK could leave the EU, but that would mean that the necessary reform could not be made to happen.
Can you name a country which trades with the EU that doesn't relinquish control of at least some of its trade policy? There really is no incentive for the EU to allow the UK to sell in the EU without some kind of tariff imposed unless we (like Norway) agree to full access and movement of goods.
Have a read of www.niesr.ac.uk/blog/after-brexit-how-important-would-uk-trade-be-eu#.VwVHoKDTXqA the EU takes nearly 50 percent of our exports.
We have been trying to get reform but not the kind we need, and not the kind the greens want. The UK government is a strong proponent of TTIP, so I'm not at all sure our trade policy is safe in their hands. I've been trying to explain TTIP to my mp and he remains oblivious.
So if we're going to leave let's leave with a plan and after trying out the alternatives. The EU could be great following the model in the green party manifesto.
To be fair, Jeremy Corbyn didn't say that about Cameron's Mum in PMQs, and he's done more than most to stop the personal attacks and Punch & Judy politics at Westminster. I don't tend to like negative campaigning personally, but this is very funny and memorable
+Brittany Hutchings Aye, I find Jeremy to be a refreshing change from the C3P0 hand-politics of the past 20 years, seriously watch David Cameron's hands when he talks... or any man from the Eton club for that matter. Always coming at you with the side of their palm, it looks like they are practicing slow-motion Judo on an invisible assailant.
"We’re the only party that offers a true alternative to the business-as-usual and believes in an economy that gives everyone their fair share"
But yet you support the EU? Supporting the EU is business as usual for UK politicians. Any political party that does nothing to protect the sovereignty of it's nation, is not worth a vote by a single citizen.
Hey guess what we don't have an empire anymore, so piss off with all that sovereignty crap
+kitan alabi exactly, and the UK only used to have an empire because they just turned up at a country and said we're in charge now, and they killed anyone who would try and stand up to them. The rest of people would be made slaves, so the empire mainly ran on slave and material trade. So how was Britain ever great if they put so many people into slavery?
+kitan alabi
no we have a country, respect it or leave.
+Adam Ahmed-Keyte
learn your history, the coastal towns wer always attacked in britain, by arab slave boats, egypt has slaves, india has slaves, uk abollished slavery
barleyarrish
A country who thinks that they are greater than they are. We think that we're on the same level as the US or China when we're clearly not
It's funny because this is exactly what is going on
This was THE GREATEST PPB ever made.
But I want a "behind the scenes" and a "where are they now".
Love this!
-> Spends three minutes depicting other politicians as children.
-> Decries them for "throwing around insults".
Anyone else notice the hypocrisy? Truly this is the new, progressive, kinder politics.
+Alex Potts >Expecting leftoids to emit a coherent argument without contradicting themselves 62 times.
2:38 "oh look, it's a short haired woman in a less than formal suit. that means it's time to stop the video because a green party activist is about to open her mouth"
Depicting everything and everyone working within the political system is childish, why should we vote for you if you aren't willing to take things seriously?
And it juxtaposes their entire point of them arguing when they're entering an argument by calling everyone else childish, I ask that the Greens take a closer look at the advertising they'll be judged for. Additionally, trying to show them as the grown up party, you are going to be destroyed by political comedians, it may get your name out there, just for all the wrong reasons, perhaps following a few tactics from Donald Trump.
#SianForMayor 👍
I'd actually vote for the green party, only problem is that they'd never get elected so why waste a vote lool
+safsta786 because you're taking the vote away from another party?
+safsta786 Why would you vote for them? They're mental - they make the MRLP look normal.
+tcpgblizzard who would you vote for?
Bobbie May The party closest to my beliefs is UKIP. The Conservatives would be my top choice, but only if they had better leaders.
I'd rather hear a Party election broadcast that outlines your policies and how you intend to implement them rather than seeing you stoop to making the opposition seem childish in order to elevate yourselves. This bashing of the opposition doesn't make you stronger it makes you petty.
+tom c It's very much like an SDP or Lib Dem PPB.
they say insults to other parties are childish... but this video is childish and insulting, hypocrites.
This was awesome right up until 2:40. If you could own your own party's failings as well we'd be on the right track.
"While the other parties throw around insults"
Dude, you're calling all your opponents 5 year olds, you have no place to talk.
Actually it's a reference to the idea of playground politics - which labour and the tories are frequently in the middle of.
***** oh. never mind then.
+Little Miss Funny Shut down.
Here we are in 2022 and the five year olds have raised the fighting to new levels and upping the lies
Sad but true 😞
ROLF LMAO XD
Not sure which is the parody, the actually politicians or these kids! XD
Cmon we need the monster raving looney party
"To stop global warming we are going to put air conditioning units outside "
Tom 1851 did the greens say that?
+Adam Ahmed-Keyte no it was the Monster Raving Loony party
Tom 1851 I'm not surprised, and the Greens wouldn't say something like that
Tip : only watch this video up to 2:36
How come you didn't show the scene when Natalie was struggling with her maths homework?
Love it, except the greens aren't actually in it. You need a big-faced blonde kid going 'I'm from AUSTRALIA! But I came here by boat.. honest'. And the bit at the end sounds strangely dubbed, although the lipsyncing is admirable.
The comments really are a scream to read. The like and share count speak for themselves though, so here's to our assemblies saturated with Greens after May.
