Green leader Bennett sorry for 'excruciating' interview

[original PM]

Should have told them the "Why does it take three women with PMT to change a lightbulb" joke, that always calms them down

Go on I am intrigued - why does it?

It's easy to have idealist policies if you are never going to have to pay for them.

Quite. Which means that those who vote for them have another agenda.

Funny as **** she had a brain fart moment. The interviewer was a little condescending when he asked if she was alright.

Not sure what having a brain fart has to do with anything about people wanting to vote for them. So what?

If that's all it was then I could agree - under that pressure anyone can make a tit of themself especially if not used to it.

But it's not the first time. She just keeps repeating "what we're looking at" and "it's costed in the manifesto" but apparently she hasn't actually read the manifesto.

I don't think being idealistic and/or deluded counts as an agenda. Most of their voters fall into those categories, rather than anything more devious.

Yep.

Their hearts are in the right place, but their brains are in their arses.

The agenda of these people is based on envy and other insecurities. If people genuinely wanted to help the poor they would do so directly or at least pressurise a mainstream political party. To be fair the reason why people will vote UKIP is because they want to pressurise govt into for example controlling immigration. The Green party is so extreme and so full of self loathing that voting for them has to do more with personal issues than any semblance of logic or practicality.

Their hearts are not in the right place at all unless you believe in the "believe what you hear" rather than "believe what you see"

[SpontaneousOrder]

Not even that - their hearts are full of nihilistic anti-human sentiment.

The fact that the consequences of that anti-human sentiment would see us all living in caves rather than the utopia they seek (albeit some horrible perverse view of utopia) is the bit where their heart conflicts with their brains. Both are rotten though.

I think she was wise. If she had clearly articulated Green Party policies then what she said would have been far more stupid.
