Quite a phenomenal campaign ad from the Greens down in England. Strong. I firmly believe that any political party not running this same message will fail.
Zack Polanski speaking in the video talks about the work and commitment of ordinary people to this cause. As he does so, he runs faster and faster, with the camera repeatedly focusing on his trainers. He runs through scenes of an English town and eventually, unable to run any faster, he stops and says that we need this reset. He then explains how.

@LaChasseuse #AltForYou:
Video of a guy talking while moving. First he talks about how everything feels overwhelming and you have to move fast to stay where you are economically while he walks. Then he talks about bigger, more systemic problems and that, to keep up, you have to move faster, while he runs. Then he tells us to stop running and see the bigger picture. He stops running, moves slowly and pants, while he says that all the wealth we create goes to the pockets of the super rich, which is a political failure and obscene. He says we have to elect leaders that serve the people, communities and nature, not the pockets of the obscenely rich. He ends with the slogan "make hope normal again". -

@LaChasseuse Damn, that's effective and absolutely spot-on. I'm voting Green in Scotland.

@LaChasseuse amazing! and authentic, directly from the heart that doesn't stop going into heads. This is how campaigns should be, because they don't only feel 'true & right', they are!

@AwetTesfaiesus das wäre mal was als Beispiel für die DE Grünen.
@holger @AwetTesfaiesus gestern den Kommentar von Özdemir gehört?
Mit den jetzigen Grünen ist keine wirtschaftskritische oder klassenkritische Politik zu erwarten.

@LaChasseuse
If you are outside the UK, you might not recognise Zak Polanski - recently elected as leader of the UK Green Party.
Great video, strong message. -

@LaChasseuse problem is the politicians are puppets of the civil service and the rich. Labour promised a lot and have delivered the opposite.

@megatronicthronbanks @LaChasseuse perhaps not BREXIT as sold but BREXIT as 'negotiated' by those who were anti it for sure.

@lobingera @holger an der uk Kampagne ist überhaupt nichts wirtschaftskritisch

@LaChasseuse With Mark Carney's 'rupture' speech and this ad from Zak Polanski (UK Green Party) it's beginning to feel like more positive change is coming (eventually) #politics #ukpolitics

@LaChasseuse It's a great ad, and a well-argued point, but the problem is that many parties already run on this and none of them do anything but stuff more money into the 1%. We had a supposedly "progressive" government for four years in Germany. Not a green one, yes, but one where the social-democratic party who also always runs on "small people, workers, unions, economic justice" stuff was the biggest part, and it was just more shafting for workers. Now under a conservative government that AGAIN has the social-democratic party in it (as the junior partner this time) it's of course more shafting (and berating people, endlessly). The real problem is that people who would actually change things are not available for election. They don't get to run. The apparatus of the parties filters them out, because all parties, regardless of what their programs say, know that once they come into government, they will be told the same old thing: "Look, we're glad you're here, but if we don't like your policies we'll take so much capital out of your economy that it will collapse. So watch it!" And there we go again.

The civil service aren't puppet-masters, they're administrators and workers who try to implement whatever policy, good or bad, the government dictates. They will advise about difficulties, but they are definitely not calling the shots; their advice is frequently ignored.
You can choose politicians who aren't puppets of the rich; that's the point of voting. Most people may not see that choice clearly, but that's the point of campaigning. Hence the video.

@LaChasseuse that gave me goosebumps. I've watched it about a dozen times and it still gives me goosebumps

@LaChasseuse This is amazing! A+ efforts for running and memorizing speech, at that. How does he do it?
@darkpixel @LaChasseuse Multiple takes, edited together.

@LaChasseuse are UK Greens actually lefties or just right wing capitalists with a modicum decency as a veneer on top?
