Russell Brand drops his anti-voting stance and says people should vote for Caroline Lucas of the Green Party

Russell Brand has revised his anti-voting stance and called for people living in Brighton vote for Caroline Lucas of the Green Party.

The politicised comedian, who caused a row in 2013 when he said he did not vote, said Ms Lucas was obviously a “decent” person and worth electing to Parliament.

“People that live in Brighton Pavilion should definitely vote for you,” he told Ms Lucas in an interview on his YouTube channel.

Turning to the camera, he said: “Are you a person that lives in Brighton Pavilion? If you are, you should definitely vote for this person, Caroline Lucas.”

Ms Lucas was elected as Britain's first Green Party MP in the seat of Brighton Pavilion at the 2010 election and is seeking re-election next week.

The endorsement is an apparently reversal of Mr Brand’s previous position, which he outlined in an interview with the journalist Jeremy Paxman.
