Britain has its own Liz Warren, her name is Natalie Bennett. She leads the Green Party, and its platform, (or “Manifesto“) is a preview of things-to-come as the American Democrat Party grows more and more radicalized.
The party’s manifesto argues for zero, or even negative growth and falling levels of personal consumption. Britain would be in permanent recession; families would become materially poorer each year.
No-one will see a reduction in benefits, and most will see a substantial increase. Parents will be entitled to two years’ paid leave from work.
All elements of the sex industry will be decriminalised, and prostitutes could no longer be discriminated against in child custody cases.
A Green party would impose “research, education and economic measures” to drive a “transition from diets dominated by meat”.
A Green Government will “progressively reduce” border controls, including an amnesty for illegal immigrants after five years. Access to benefits, the right to vote and tax obligations will apply to everyone living on British soil, regardless of passport.
So far, pretty much in line with Obama’s policies of welfare expansion, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and middle class income stagnation. But the Greens decided that platform wasn’t quite radical enough, and want to add a few more planks to it.
This weekend the party leadership unveiled manifesto pledges to abolish tuition fees and provide free personal care for the over-65s.
Animal rights: Article Five of the UN Declaration on Human Rights, banning “inhuman” treatment, is extended to all sentient life forms. The same prison sentences for the murder and kidnap of humans will apply to crimes involving elephants, monkeys and whales.
Nappies: Companies that manufacture disposable nappies face higher taxes to account for landfill
Grand National: Commercial horse and dog racing to be bannedNational Lottery: Payouts to be smaller, with more winners, under “progressive” system
Foreign Aid: Budget to increase to one per cent of GDP, with hospital ships serving the developing world
Education: Forest Schools, giving children a “hands-on” appreciation of trees
So so many people need to be drowned.
…families would become materially poorer each year.
OK, progressives… you go first. Show us how it’s done.
Because it all worked so well in Venezuela and Cuba.
They forgot some things:
Animal rights: Include dolphins and parrots.
Nappies: Companies that manufacture non-disposable nappies face higher taxes to account for the additional detergent laden water polluting lakes and streams.
National Lottery: Make all payouts instantaneous. Every ticket is a winner. This way there will be no losers. Payout will be half the entry cost.
Foreign Aid: Every country that protests against us will immediately be shipped ten billion dollars since such unrest is due to their impoverished state.
Education: All false opinions stated by students, namely anything that goes against the accepted party line, will result in the parents immediate imprisonment, as they obviously brainwashed their children.
Dolphins and elephants… but not unborn children. Euthanasia coming soon for the disabled and elderly.
I wonder if no discrimination of the ‘sex industry’ is going to include the pimps in human trafficking rings? But that probably depends on if there is a British ACORN to go with the British Elizabeth Warren.
what are the socialists(communists)going to do when everyone stops working to go on the dole? oh right they starve them to death. communists are great at creating famines. there is a reason they have labor camps in communist countries.
The British Green Party: Never in the field of human society have so many hippies been owed a punch to the face by so many.
Churchill weeps.
“OK, progressives… you go first. Show us how it’s done.”
I had this argument with my father years ago. He got very upset and defensive. They don’t want to go first; they want the rest of us to go down with them, and unless there is a successful secession of the several States, that’s how it’s going to go down.
I’ll be looking to export my businesses to select States in the next few years. The US as a unified country is done.
Is there something wrong with Gay Patriot’s Twitter link?
So if GDP continually shrinks–by design–and foreign aid is pegged to 1% of GDP, that helps the recipients of foreign aid in what way? (Although there is a certain logic to it: Once you eventually lower Britain’s standard of living to that of Chad or Somalia there will be no further need for foreign aid. Problem solved!)
Do these people understand what humans are capable of when thrust into poverty–especially people who end up there having been prosperous before? Is there enough rope in Britain for all the Green leaders and voters if they succeed?
the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money. The problem with open borders is that eventually the Third World runs out of First World countries to flee to.
Solyent Green is a Human Right.
