The team behind The Revolution Will Be Televised are back with a satirical comedy special.

Are politicians as out-of-touch as we suspect? Revolution Presents: Democracy Dealers paints a fly-on-the-wall portrait of some terrifyingly inept Members of Parliament.

With a raft of their political gaffs previously featured on the BAFTA-winning The Revolution Will Be Televised, we catch up with Conservative MP James Twottington-Burbage and Liberal Democrat MP Barnaby Plankton following their recent appointment as Ministers for Youth.

Along the way they bump into Labour MP Ewan Jeffries, prospective UKIP candidate Dennis Pound and have a surprise encounter with a representative of the Green Party.
