BRAND NEW POLITICS

SHORTLY AFTER  his famous interview with the BBC's Jeremy Paxman (10 million hits on YouTube and counting)  comedian and political activist Russell Brand sat down for an extended interview with  Mehdi Hasan  of the Huffington Post.

Brand discusses the failure of representative democracy, why he won't vote, drugs, capitalism and a whole lot of other stuff besides.  The perfect antidote to dreary and predictable speeches from  dull and reactionary machine politicians.
