Russell Brand wants you to vote… for Ed Miliband

He famously told people not to vote, but now Russell Brand has done his own political u-turn.

Following his interview with the Labour leader last week, Russell Brand has now called on people to vote for Labour in order to end the “dangerous” policies of the Conservative Party.

Mr Brand says people need to “take decisive action to end the danger of the Conservative Party”.

Respondiong to comments from Prime Minister David Cameron, Mr Brand said: “David Cameron might think I’m a joke but I don’t think there is anything funny about what they have been doing to this country.”

He outlined his view on how voting should take place across the country.

“If you are Scottish you don’t need an English person telling you what to do. You know what you’re going to be doing,” he said.

“If you’re in Brighton I think it would be a travesty if we lost the voice of Caroline Lucas in Westminster.

“But anywhere else you’ve gotta vote Labour. You’ve gotta get the Conservative Party out of government in this country so we can begin community led activism. So we can be heard continually.”
