A parody video is encouraging the 15.9 million people who didn’t vote in the last general election to make their voice heard by voting on June 8.
The “party political broadcast” from the Can’t Be Arsed Party features the leader of the silent majority talking to people in the street about why they aren’t voting.
The chuckle-inducing video from Forever Beta even interviews Ian Hislop, who rains on the party’s parade, saying that historically, ignoring problems and hoping they go away doesn’t really work.
It lists policy areas like education, Trident and border control, saying that it can’t be arsed about any of them.
“Ignore Britain’s problems and they might just go away,” is the tongue-in-cheek slogan of the party – but it’s all a ruse – the last frame in the video implores the public to “be arsed” to vote on June 8.
The party’s website then directs visitors to different sites explaining where they can vote, and why they should.
