British punters have strong opinions on completely made-up election policies

With the general election taking place tomorrow, May 7, it's been wall-to-wall policy announcements, debates and analysis over the Irish Sea, to ensure the public are well-educated.

Pity it hasn't worked, so.

Satirical website The Poke sent its man on the street to ask the great British public about several key issues - all of which were complete and utter nonsense.

From the Green's ban on pass the parcel to "lowering" the age of consent for bestiality (which is completely illegal, of course).

Fair play to the young woman who actually said "is this a joke?" - and the other person who asked if they'd cherry-picked the most outlandish policies just for the video was almost right.
