    I found this very interesting. Thank you, Tim.

    This style of film is very effective, and probably very quick to produce. Might be a good way of standing out in party political broadcasts?

    Great audio, fairly good sight gags, but the editing might induce be harmful to those suffering from epilepsy. For an example of how this kind of film should be done, see Zero Punctuation: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/tag/zero+punctuation

    I think that it was at least submitted, even if it doesn’t have the chance to sway other people into contributing.

    Did the Lib Dems have a campaign to get people to contribute to the SOCPA consultation? I don’t remember there being one.
