Green Party Urges Voters to 'Change the Tune' in U.K. Election
Posted in: Uncategorized
The Green Party which is led by a woman has created a new film that relegates the competition to boy-band style clones, as part of its campaign in the run-up to the U.K. general election on May 7.
The provocative film will be broadcast on the BBC tonight. It features satirical versions of the (male) leaders of the Green Party’s four main rival parties, brought together to form a fictitious boy band called Coalition. The quartet sing the song, titled “Change the Tune,” in harmony, demonstrating how similar all their policies sound.
In the U.K., political parties are allowed to buy advertising on billboards, print, and online but not on TV or radio. However, each of the main parties (those fielding candidates for at least one-sixth of the seats up for election) is allocated a primetime TV slot, free of charge, lasting a maximum of four minutes and 40 seconds.
