Mark Thomas: The ManifestoSeries 3
Episode 2 of 4

Fifty per cent minimum participation in elections and converting fast food into renewable gas. Mark collates more policies. From 2011.

Comedian-activist Mark Thomas creates a people's manifesto.

He's taking suggestions from his studio audience and then getting them to vote for the best.

The winner of each show will be enforceable by law, so pay attention!

In this episode, policies include:

* 50% Minimum Participation in Elections
* Converting Fast Food into Renewable Gas
* Imposing an Earning Cap of £30k on All Bank Employees.

Plus there are plenty of 'any other business?' suggestions from the studio audience.
