Less than a year ago, the Green Party's election broadcast | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
was about Stormont wasting your money. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
We're going to show it to you again, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
because they're still wasting your money. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
It's not just about the RHI, it's not a one-off. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
The traditional parties have wasted our time, | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
our money and our opportunity for stable government. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
If you're angry, you have a right to be. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
Once upon a time, there was a land with rolling green hills, | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
deep blue lakes and sparkling shores. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
But something was wrong. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
The land was being spoiled. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
Loud, angry voices shouted over everyone, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
and the people drifted away from each other | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
and became isolated and fearful. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
The hills, lakes and shores became dismal and grey. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
"What a waste", said the people. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
A large machine was built to end the wasted opportunities | 0:01:10 | 0:01:14 | |
that blighted the land. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
It was called Stormont. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
"To make Stormont work", | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
the people were told, "you need some very important men, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
"and maybe, just maybe, some very important women. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:30 | |
"You must call them MLAs, | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
"and they will spend billions of pounds to make Stormont work. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
"This will reduce the waste." | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
But this did not happen. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
The machine often got blocked by some of the MLAs, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
but there was one MLA who did get things done. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
His name was Steven Agnew and he was in the Green Party. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:57 | |
The Green Party hated the waste. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
In fact, they wanted zero waste. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
He introduced a law to make Stormont work better for children, | 0:02:03 | 0:02:09 | |
stood up for equality for all the people, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
protected the hills and lakes and shores | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
from those who were causing damage. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
"What if there were other Greens in the Assembly?" he thought. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:24 | |
"Then we could all live happily ever after." | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
That was our broadcast from the last election. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
But the Assembly shouldn't be one action replay after another. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
In the last election, we doubled the number of Green MLAs. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
With more Greens, we can end the waste at Stormont. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
If you hate waste, vote Green | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
on Thursday 2nd March. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 |
