John Cleese SDP/Liberal Alliance political broadcast 1987

John Cleese does a party political broadcast on the subject of extremism for the British centre-ist party (or parties), the SDP/Liberal Alliance. A very convincing and funny piece of propaganda it is, makes you want to vote for them. Just a shame you'll never get the chance, The Alliance got annihalated in the '87 election and had split up and disbanded within a year. Still, it's not all tears, A Fish Called Wanda was soon to do great box.

Broadcast on April Fools Day 1987

They didn't get annihilated. They lost 2% of the vote and 1 seat in the 1987 election, and then became the liberal democrats. Where did you get that they stopped existing from?

[Retrieverman1]

This party sounds to the left of the current Labour Party.

Forget Phone Hacking Please check out THE PARTY OF SLEAZE by Tokyo Rose it's a laugh and one day it may come true.

It wouldn't have killed him to have a shave, would it?

@FightMarxism Marxism did not do that people did that. Every left wing party in the world can trace their origin back to Marx, some have done very well, some have not, I could say the same with the Conservatives or Liberals (meaning centre because that's what Liberals actually stand for)

[FightMarxism]

Marx should've been the laughingstock of the 20th century but instead people saw in his work a method for conquering governments & seizing power for themselves and as a result tens of millions died.

@bapyou Libertarians don't support big business. Libertarians support free market capitalism free from as much government intervention as possible. Democrats & republicans support big business by caving to lobbyists to impose government intervention in favor of their company. Historically nobody supports favoritism more than the democratic party. No economist has ever been more wrong Karl Marx.

[ChristoMafesto]

lol this is brilliant!

@FightMarxism "The truth about big business is that they tend to support the democratic party."

Certainly, and this means what? That "libertarians" aren't supporters of big buisiness & capitalism? When it comes down to it, rather than stand with working pople in their struggles against capital, you whores would suck the cock of the wealthy any day of the week.

You have the most moronic username I've yet come across on You Tube. Karl Marx had 20X the intellect of a Von Mises or Hayek.

[FightMarxism]

@bapyou Well, in the face of such obvious intelligence I have to concede, Ronald Reagan wasn't a libertarian. The truth about big business is that they tend to support the democratic party. Take a look at the campaign contributions for Obama vs McCain in the 2008 elections.

@FightMarxism "it's about getting back to a small government limited to the confines of the U.S. Constitution."

Oh shut up, you stupid fucking whore. The fucking whores in the tea party and the fucking whores in the Republican Party of Whores are not about small government at all, you fucking whore. Ronald Reagan GREW government, you stupid fucking whore. Tell the truth, you stupid fucking whore: Small government just means $ for big business. That is all there is to it, you fucking whore.

@Retrieverman1 Very, or at least they were until 6 months ago.
