I find this article, the first half of which is about Russell Brand's attitudes, very funny. I lost interest during the second half as I don't watch Newsnight anyway, but what the journo says about RB matches the sort of thing that has gone through my head when I've heard RB spouting. Except this is much wittier. Enjoy smile

Yes I know but I'm not sure that alone would make him an anarchist. In the last election some people said they intended to deliberately spoil their papers but they were not anarchists.

I think many people don't bother to vote because they think there is no point. Corrupt politicians with little difference between the parties these days.

petallus, I also think that the UK 'First past the post' system does not help at all. If you happen to live in an area where the majority does not share your views, you might as well not bother to vote. Where I lived, I always voted on principle, knowing full well my vote would end up in the bin. It really is not a good motivator at all.
