This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
You can also listen to it, if you don't want to read it.

Nick: The third key theme is 'The Greens will ensure everyone has a secure, affordable place to live. How would that be brought about?

Natalie: A couple of things that we want to focus on. In terms of council housing, we want to build 500,000 new social rent homes.

Nick: Good lord, where would you get the money from for that?

Natalie: Well, what we want to do is fund that particularly by removing tax relief on mortgage interests for private landlords. We have a situation where...

Nick: How much would that bring in?

Natalie: Private landlords at the moment are basically running away with the situation of hugely rising rents while collecting huge amounts of housing benefit.

Nick: How much would that be worth, the mortgage relief for private landlords?

Natalie: "Erm... well... it's... that's part of the whole costing."

Nick: Yes, but how much would that bring? The cost of 500,000 homes, let's start with that. How much would that be?

Natalie: "Right, well, that's, erm... you've got a total cost... erm... that we're... that will be spelt out in our manifesto.

Nick: So you don't know?

Natalie: No, well, err.

Nick: You don't, ok. So you don't know how much those homes are going to cost, but the way it's going to be funded is mortgage relief from private landlords. How much is that worth?

Natalie: Right, well what we're looking at with the figures here. Erm, what we need to do is actually... uh......... we're looking at a total spend of £2.7... billion.

Nick: 500,000 homes, £2.7billion? What are they made of, plywood?

Natalie: Erm, basically what we're talking about is 500,000 new homes and basically each one pound spent on this brings back £2.40...

Nick: Yes, but what is the total cost of 500,000 homes?

Natalie: [Long, long pause] Erm... it's a cost of £60,000 per home.

Nick: £60,000 per home?

Natalie: Because what we're talking about is, is the opportunity for...

Nick: That can't include the land?

Natalie: Well, what we're talking about is, what we want to see is the possibility of, um, of homes being built...

Nick: That's not much more than a large conservatory, £60,000. So where's the land, how are you going to pay for the land?

Natalie: [Even longer pause] Right, well, what we're, what we're looking at doing is, is... is basically *cough, cough, cough*

Nick: Are you alright? 

Natalie: Yes, sorry, as you can probably hear, I have got a huge cold.

Nick: I'm terribly sorry to hear that.

Natalie: So, so what we need to do is, is social rental homes.

Nick: Right. Still don't see how you're going to get this... some at £60,000... you don't actually know how much this is going to cost, do you?

Natalie: Uh, yes, we've got a fully-costed programme which we'll be releasing, which will be released...

Nick: Shouldn't you be aware of what that cost will be now?

Natalie: Uh, right, yes. So what we're talking about is £6billion per year. So the current budget is £1.5billion a year.

Nick: £6billion? That will be attained by taking mortgage relief from private landlords? That's £6billion-worth is it?

Natalie: And we're also looking at investing... [long pause]. Yes, well, it's... we've got the fully costed figures here.

Nick: You've said that on a couple of occasions. How much does mortgage relief from private landlords bring in then?

Natalie: [Long pause] *cough, cough* Basically, we're talking about an overall saving of £4.5billion.

Nick: What? Mortgage relief is worth £4.5billion a year?

Natalie: And this is other saving as well, from private landlords as well, we're looking at housing benefit reforms and what we also want to do is bring in caps on private tenants.

Nick: Yes, do you think you could have perhaps have ginned up on this a bit more Natalie Bennett?

Natalie: *cough, cough* Uh, I think that we're talking about a whole range of...

Nick: No, you personally, do you think you might have ginned up a little, might you have read into this a little more in hindsight?

Natalie: What we're talking about is a whole range of issues this morning, ranging from the economy, the NHS.

Nick: Yes, I've only time for two unfortunately. I wish I had more time.

UKIP may be racist retards but at least they have a (shit) plan. So the general election falls to a choice between racists, fumbling idiots, fumbling idiots in yellow, snobs or snobs wearing red?

I'd suggest looking at the specific candidates, see if there are any that don't look like complete tosspots. Or go for the least shit option.

Really though, at the end of the day you are just choosing what colour tie the mong who is going to further cripple the country will wear for 5 years ._______.

Keep on soaking up that continental propaganda, limeyboy.

Also, I think it's funny how, no matter which country you look at, every Green party is the most delusional bunch there.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Hmm.

Fuck it, I'll vote Plaid.
