Voting (against)

Russell Brand video against voting

I think the points being made are really interesting and I agreed with a lot of the stuff that Russell said. Especially about politicians not changing the things that matter in the world and only looking after the corporate people. I also believe in his simple statement that voting doesn't make a difference. Some really interesting imagery could be played on that.
