A new short film explaining why the Greens can win this year’s parliamentary election in Norwich South has been released on the internet. The Norwich South seat will be contested by the Green Party’s deputy leader, Adrian Ramsay.

The film uses animation and graphics, plus a short direct message from the candidate, Adrian Ramsay, who is one of thirteen Green councillors on Norwich City Council. The film 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. The Greens have 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.

Adrian Ramsay said: “Any successful election campaign in the 21st century has to use a variety of methods. We are leafleting and speaking to residents on the doorstep 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.”
