Comedy legend John Cleese stars in a new animation on some of the things wrong with democracy in the UK.
Make Votes Matter worked with him to produce the video which hopes to stimulate debate on one of the ways we can fix it. In it, a Pythonesque cutout of Cleese argues that a change to our voting system is long overdue:
“The Conservatives and the DUP hold a majority of seats in the House of Commons, yet just 43% of votes went to those two parties combined. 57% of us have to put up with a government we didn’t vote for and don’t want. This is what’s known as minority rule.”
