Green Party

A new short film about why the Greens can win the next election in Norwich South is being released on the internet on New Year’s Day. Preview copies of the film on DVD are available to journalists.

It’s a further recognition by the Green Party of the importance of new media in reaching an electorate widely disenchanted with the prevailing political system. Internet videos played a significant part in US President Barack Obama’s election campaign.

The film uses animation and graphics, plus a short direct message from the candidate, Adrian Ramsay, a Norwich City Councillor and Deputy Leader of the Green Party nationally. It recognises that the battle for who runs the country will be between Labour and the Conservatives, but maintains that each individual constituency is a separate, unique contest and Norwich South will provide one of the most interesting battles.

It suggests that the Greens provide the strongest challenge to the sitting MP, New Labour’s former Home Secretary Charles Clarke, having beaten all the other parties in local elections across the constituency in 2007, 2008 and 2009. If people vote the same way at the General Election Mr. Clarke will lose his seat to the Greens.

The film concludes that one more Labour, Conservative or Lib-Dem MP will hardly be noticed in the House of Commons, but electing a Green MP for Norwich would provide the fresh, distinctive voice that the city, and Parliament, so desperately need.

The Norwich South film will be seen on Adrian Ramsay's Youtube page from 1st January: http://www.youtube.com/user/AdrianRamsayForMP . It will also be available on Adrian's own website at www.adrianramsay.org.uk . Links to the video will be provided in future election literature. Viewers are specifically encouraged to share the video with others.

Adrian Ramsay said: "Any successful election campaign in the 21st century has to use a variety of methods. We are leafleting and door-knocking as always but I think this video will provide another useful way for us to communicate with Norwich residents.

"I'm very pleased with the video. I think it's visually very impressive. I hope it is shared and watched by Norwich residents repeatedly between now and the General Election."

I presume the Greens will be upping the troop numbers in Afghanistan as Obama did? While failing to close Guantanamo as he said he would?. And as for Copenhagen... oh dear.

Why do the twee middle classes fail to spot brown/black fascists and capitalists?
