The glorious Russell Brand rant that everyone is talking about.

“If you can’t be arsed to vote, why should we be arsed to listen to your political point of view?”

That’s what British Newsnight host Jeremy Paxman asked Russell Brand in a heated interview that’s quickly gone viral.

Brand is guest-editing a political magazine this month, but admitted to Paxman that he’s never actually voted before (unlike here in Aus, voting in Britain is not compulsory).

What followed was a pretty fiery (yet intelligent and fascinating) exchange that is definitely worth watching:

Did Russell Brand just start a revolution?
