Damn, over here in the states we just have frightening politicians who want the people they govern to die. It looks like UK polititians are just whimsical cartoon characters
It is a time honoured British Tradition that both the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition need to run against Elmo to win their home seat. Much like most things about British politics, no one really knows how this tradition actually started. However, it keeps going because making fun of British politicians is a national pass time in Britain. You know all the reverence and patriotism the President gets in America? Well Britain found the brilliant solution for that through having a Monarch. If you want to be patriotic in Britain, you show it to the monarch, not to the Prime Minister. Which means that unlike in America, it is super easy to be super supportive of the government through the Monarch, but take the piss out of the politicians in charge.
I may be American but I want the image of lord bucket head flipping off Elmo during a political session engraved in my mind forever. This is too funny.
American here, I know enough to recognize some of these people running for parliament but I assume it is the same for you guys when you see our goofy old people like when we see your goofy old people
First, what did her mattress to have to do with politics are and second isn’t it rather rude putting her beneath Nigel Farage Boris Johnson or even in a video with them? I mean, Boris is well I think he’s just not the smartest for righteous just straight up evil.
It is with great sadness I inform you that Elmo did not win a seat in Parliament.
😭😭😭
Rigged, Kermit did this.
Eight votes AH AH AH
😠
NOOO
As an American I can say my favorite thing about British politics is the amount of heckling allowed in Parliament. It is in fact, very funny.
ORDAH! ORDAH! ORDAH!
Interestingly, I find it really embarassing.
ah yes like a certain party in the us isnt know for being screaming children aka maga tards
I'm jealous as a Canadian. The leader of the opposition called Trudeau a "wacko" a while ago and everyone lost their minds 😂
@@ArthurB26why 😂😊
I think all future US presidential debates should be held in the Teacup ride! It might make them more coherent.
That's elder abuse... double the teacup ride speed
Maybe not coherent but at least entertaining
"It was a convenient place to stay." 😂
I love like half of these are Boris Johnson 😂
He is very memeable.
The other half is
OORDAAAHH
He was great at one thing and one thing alone.
Can we get Elmo over in the states?
It's about father's rights
The teacup one is the best!!! I’m dying 😂
That was part of the Lib Dem Party get out the vote plan and It worked. They gained over 50 seats.
We are so back, that 11 month haitus was worth it for these daily gems
As a Brit, I can confirm that pretty much none of these clips make sense even in context
The first one is STRAIGHT OUT of Monty Python's Election Night Special sketch, crazy!

If you watched the US politics out of context without the inherent context of being American, you would feel much the same way.
@cantin8697 Not to be that person, but 'there's' means 'there is'
Long live the Monster Raving Loony Party!
I AM BEGGING FOR CONTEXT FOR THE FIRST CLIP
From what I've heard, all candidates for an election in Britain are entitled to be on stage for the announcement of who won.
If you get enough signatures and money, you can run as a so called joke/fun party. That's why there are always a couple of bizarre contenders
@cantin8697 Perfect answer 👌
@cantin8697vote count binface for croissant prices to be capped at £1.10!!

The meme potential for 1:50, also RIP.
2:33 lizzy is so brat coded

i see they are taking this very seriously
I like when you do other things that aren't U.S. because I can be actually confused rather then sad
Australia at some point pls
genuinely asking, is australia a real country? How hot is this summer out there?
Australia also has bad politicians like everywhere in the world
I think the next American debate would go smoother if it was on a teacup ride…
I’d strait up pay congress to organize this
I see John Berkowicz opening his big mouth again... Oops, I mean John Bercow...
American here, I know enough to recognize some of these people running for parliament but I assume it is the same for you guys when you see our goofy old people like when we see your goofy old people
the amount of awkwardness
Boris was a total clown. But never a dull moment
But still a clown.
I think if our presidential candidates had mascots they would be a roomba and that picture of Miley cyrus
for the next video we need the scene where p45 was given to Theresa May
Seeing America's politics we're watching a dystopia emerge in real time. But watching Britain's it's just goofy and silly.
Great videos!
Compared to America’s current situation… this doesn’t seem too bad actually
Now theyre out, its time to laugh with relief

Let’s gooooopoo
Canada please
They already did one
the teeth 😭😭
It's too cringe 😬
Why is there just a black guy there. Like he isn't doing anything particularly funny
er... What !!!.
