0:00:11 > 0:00:14Less than a year ago, the Green Party's election broadcast

0:00:14 > 0:00:17was about Stormont wasting your money.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20We're going to show it to you again,

0:00:20 > 0:00:23because they're still wasting your money.

0:00:23 > 0:00:27It's not just about the RHI, it's not a one-off.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30The traditional parties have wasted our time,

0:00:30 > 0:00:33our money and our opportunity for stable government.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36If you're angry, you have a right to be.

0:00:40 > 0:00:45Once upon a time, there was a land with rolling green hills,

0:00:45 > 0:00:49deep blue lakes and sparkling shores.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51But something was wrong.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53The land was being spoiled.

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Loud, angry voices shouted over everyone,

0:00:57 > 0:00:59and the people drifted away from each other

0:00:59 > 0:01:02and became isolated and fearful.

0:01:02 > 0:01:07The hills, lakes and shores became dismal and grey.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10"What a waste", said the people.

0:01:10 > 0:01:14A large machine was built to end the wasted opportunities

0:01:14 > 0:01:16that blighted the land.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18It was called Stormont.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21"To make Stormont work",

0:01:21 > 0:01:25the people were told, "you need some very important men,

0:01:25 > 0:01:30"and maybe, just maybe, some very important women.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33"You must call them MLAs,

0:01:33 > 0:01:38"and they will spend billions of pounds to make Stormont work.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41"This will reduce the waste."

0:01:41 > 0:01:44But this did not happen.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48The machine often got blocked by some of the MLAs,

0:01:48 > 0:01:52but there was one MLA who did get things done.

0:01:52 > 0:01:57His name was Steven Agnew and he was in the Green Party.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00The Green Party hated the waste.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03In fact, they wanted zero waste.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19from those who were causing damage.

0:02:19 > 0:02:24"What if there were other Greens in the Assembly?" he thought.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28"Then we could all live happily ever after."

0:02:29 > 0:02:32That was our broadcast from the last election.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36But the Assembly shouldn't be one action replay after another.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40In the last election, we doubled the number of Green MLAs.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43With more Greens, we can end the waste at Stormont.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45If you hate waste, vote Green
