Armando Iannucci of In the Loop urges young people to vote

Armando Iannucci, Oscar-nominated writer of In the Loop, The Thick of It and Veep spoke to Martha Kearney about the 'youth vote'.

"The larger the section that doesn't vote, the more they are penalised by the politicians...so if a large section of the youth vote doesn't vote that's why you end up with things like tuition fees," said Armando Iannucci.
