What Brand proposes is seriously radical though and could only take place on an international level and couldn't work within one country in the current global system, like Hollande in France has tried to put in a more egalitarian government with massive taxes on the wealthy and the big companies, and trying to roll back austerity measure, and it's not working anywhere near as effectively as he hoped

I do think Paxman is missing the point a bit by berating him for not voting though because there's not much chance he could get the change he wants in this country by doing so, it'd be pointless, and the whole "if you don't vote you can't complain" attitude is just very annoying
