Ep 257: Mark Thomas - World's Worst Political Party

Vote Worst Foot! We are waving banners, sporting rosettes and handing out manifestos written on the back of cigarette packets which week as we campaign for our candidates to be the World's Worst Political Party. We have Mark Thomas as our guest alongside us on the hustings, a political comedian of the highest calibre who tells us about his own experience of running for election and lots more besides. Ben puts forward a Czechslovakian party from the 1910s which was as much performance art as politics, and Barry sings the praises of rhinos, gorillas and two-tailed dogs.
