Sorry, WHAT?! - 2019 Election | Daniel J. Layton 

We DO want a complete oral history of the Spice Girls.

sensational work. very enjoyable. only a bit mad that you threw Burnt Sienna under the bus.

My favourite part was when Daniel pointed at a map with a wooden spoon

I vote for 'Sorry, what?' being a reoccuring series, this was excellent! (Also I'm pretty sure the confusion is not going to go anywhere after tomorrow)

Why have you taught me more than my secondary school ever did

I feel like "sorry, WHAT!?" perfectly encapsulates current general politics.

This was outstanding. I think i've said it before but I do think your true calling is as a host of something. Your acting is good but your personality and ability to quip like you do is just stellar and engaging. I've been a confused American reading British youtuber political tweets for the last couple years and I was able to comprehend more in these 18 minutes than in the entirety of that. You were clear and interesting and very funny. I liked the rolling around in the ballots screaming "dEMocRACY" part the best lmao. Can you be the British Phillip DeFranco? Thx.

4 months of A level politic lessons summed up in 20mins by my favourite guy, what a revision tool

YES DAN

Oh hell yes I'm so ready to be EDUCATED

already certain that i’m going to send this to all my uni mates

So well researched and edited! I learned more from this about the state of British politics than I ever have from snippets of trending news 💚

Daniel J. Layton: the hero we need, but don't deserve.

"Democracy has a sense of humor" honestly the most logical explanation for all that is going on

This is the best election summary I've seen so far. Please do a post-election summary too, to help cheer me up after the inevitable Tory win

YES DAN I LOVE LISTENING TO YOU TALK POLITICS ❤️ Everyone else: VOTE 🗳

I've spent most of today crying and worrying about my future, feeling helpless because I'm 16 and therefore can't vote. This video has given me hope that people will think about what they do tomorrow; thank you Dan

Description- Emotional support animal: *dodie* Yeah that checks out

I can't vote yet, I'm literally two months too young, but I believe this to be an extremely beneficial video and I will be sharing it with everybody who will listen, thank you Daniel.

My partner who is a civil servant agrees that this video was awesome! So well researched and presented! Love your videos and love your take on this very important issue! 👌🏻

As a German I still think it’s weird that people have to go get registered to vote.. it’s like the county doesn’t want their people to vote ...

I just watched this with my 60 year old dad and you managed to make him question his ways Well done!

Watching this after the result just make the whole thing a lot sadder cause I think this video is super important and informative 😞

Zoned out for a minute and when I came back I thought we were talking about Jesus “think about what that cross represents, who that cross is for, what future that cross will bring”

IM LIVING FOR THIS ABSOLUTELY SAVAGE BREAKDOWN!

At the risk of sounding like an Tory™, well said that man. Also, small but important note from a disabled voter for all you lovely able bodied voters - when you go to vote, PLEASE, check that your polling station has disability access and accommodations. If they don't, ask why not, preferably loudly and obnoxiously. Because even in 2019, not all polling stations are accessible to disabled voters.... the same disabled voters who have been disproportionately thoroughly trampled on, kicked, and left in the gutter to die by the last 10 years of Tory government. Funny, that. If a polling station is not fully accessible, that station is preventing disabled people from voting. That's voter suppression. That's illegal. Please, be an ally and make sure your disabled fellow constituents can have their voices heard too. We've been ignored and forgotten too much already.

omg i love it - get this man on the MASH report

im an american with a scottish mom and nana so i watch these to have educated conversations with them lmao thank you dan!!

I wish I was a British citizen just to vote on this damn Brexit

watching this in the second week of 2021 is an EXPERIENCE

I need a "Sorry What?" on Partygate and the absolute chaos currently going on with this new leadership race. Feels like Dan would have fun with this one

I can’t wait to vote Labour tomorrow! I’m fully aware we more than likely aren’t going to win, but my constituency should and that matters! If you’re reading this please vote, it’s an absolute waste to not even try and make a difference!!

so my brother who is a university student, registered to vote months ago and travelled home, however they never sent him a polling card and when he got to the polling station they told him, due to how busy they were with the election, they didn’t have the time to send him a piece of paperwork he needed to sign first due to a clerical error. i have heard of many other people i know who are students and got told the same thing. knowing that students are mainly labour/left, it feels very suspicious that they have literally not been allowed to vote even though they’ve registered. no wonder it was a massively conservative majority...

"Sorry, WHAT?!" is literally my reaction to every political news I've heard this year. You made me laugh about things I cried about months or years ago, so thanks, baker, comedian, youtuber, singer and actor Daniel J. Layton :D

As an American, I wish you guys luck. We get exactly how you feel.

I'm American and this video just taught me more about Brexit and British politics than any amount of watching the news over the last three years has. Well done thank you for the excellent video

Still can't believe I showed this video to my whole business class cause I got fed up explaining the election process lmaoo

I just watched this whole video although I'm German and i enjoyed it very much. Good job, Daniel J. Layton, I feel so much smarter now. :)

god ive been giggling about brexit for the past few years as the british invaded and colonised my people and now want to keep unwanted people out of their lands..... but this is actually very important and thanks daniel j layton for laying this information out clearly while remaining funny and light !! we want the spice girls breakdown too !!

12/10 would recommend checking out the description (if not for all the very educational and informative linked then at least have a little chuckle at the thanks Dan has left)

I study poli sci and I still learned a couple of things from this, so I'd say you did a good job! Also making this stuff funny is hard, so thank you for achieving that, too

As someone not from Europe, I thought this was a truly excellent video. I didn't have a good understanding and this was a great amount of detail

Ooft this was super informative- as an Australian who has just arrived in the uk today I finally understand what tf everyone is arguing about.

The pen adds to the vibes

What a terribly stressful time in our world for you to create some amazing and educational content.

Honestly thank you for that, Dan. As an 18 year old voting in my first general election it's hella confusing and nowhere do you get taught anything about it. Obviously I've tried to look things up and educate myself but you've made it so much clearer - seriously think all people voting for the first time should watch this

Definitely want more episodes of Sorry, What?! You were pretty clear about your biases but provided a really clear picture of what’s going on, even to someone who’s not from your country.

I went to mcm two years ago and met you there, and we chatted about politics for about 30mins - funny to think two years later it’s still in exactly the same state 😂

"Bernard Cribbins Tribute Act"

Excellent vid as always 🙌 I live in Australia, I had no idea the UK doesn’t have preferential voting like we do! It’s a much better system - it deals with the vote-splitting problem.

i’m just a 25 year old polish gal sitting at home eating precooked dinner and i gotta tell you this was such a good video i’m sad it ended. funny informative, the whole package. i hope yall brits go and vote today bc this election is not only crucial to the uk but the entire eu. make me proud

My Aunt and Uncle voted for the Tories for the first time ever this time because they're leavers and I don't think I've ever been more annoyed. Dan, you're brilliant!!

It's so fascinating how similar the electoral system is between Canada and the UK and also how different it is? Especially since we also just had a federal election in October (however, you can imagine how much I related to the cold part of canvassing). The explanation about FPTP did give me throwbacks to our 2015 election because it was a major issue for all our parties, except then the party we elected who promised to get rid of it... didn't. It is wILD to me that you have to pre-register to vote, and if you don't you just.... can't vote? Like, that... THAT is INSANE. It seems like an easy way to suppress minority voters who are typically more left-leaning. I don't get that at all though.

As an American who knew nothing about British politics, this was so informative and relatively easy to understand for someone who's never heard about any of it before

I'm not from the UK and I'm very far from politics but damn even I learned and remembered things from this video. Thank you! You really do have a talent for presentations.

This was quite British, thank you for this.

As an American viewer catching only occasional comments on Twitter this video helped to explain current British politics so well. Thank you Dan!!

I'm not even from the UK, but this is great! Very informative and fun. Hope things turn out okay for you all over there tomorrow!

This is also a top notch video which should be shown in schools across the nation. This is how to get kids paying attention to politics and the news. Very funny, best breakdown I’ve seen 😂

I don't think I've ever come across anything that has explained British politics so well...and all with a little bit of beautiful sarcastic charm

Absolutely excellent. Concise and unpatronising, brilliant work Daniel. Wish they'd played something like this when I was still at school!

This is brilliant, Daniel J. I'm a journalist in Australia and I don't think I've read or seen an explanation of the whole mess that beats this. Thank you!

I request more of this please! Sassy yet educational political commentary combined with the odd pop culture reference (I conquer that Michelle Visage was ROBBED) is Daniel J gold!

Can't believe of all constituencies, you mentioned the one my Dad is standing in, thanks for the shoutout, very exciting. My Dad's standing in Coventry South and yes it has been labour but it was always the same man for so many years and now he's retired and we've got a younger woman who's splitting the vote as she's said a lot of anti semitic things and she's racist and also not from the constituency so she doesn't know much about the area so people are questioning her and changing to vote conservative which we don't want so Coventry South could potentially change to conservative. It is all very dramatic.

I have that mug, or i did until my dad broke it by accident. I bought him a new one for his birthday that's twice the size cuz sainsburys stopped stocking the normal size one

I want more long, educational videos like this. I learnt a lot from this; you kept it clear and entertaining!

This starts slapbang in the middle of my shift at work 😭

As a French Canadian, I sympathize strongly with your situation, and much more with the Scottish people. And as part of the commonwealth I was quite emotionally involved in all this, because I feel like if the British do down we all go down with it…

Daniel, only you could have made this video the way you did, and I am deeply grateful that you did it.

As a Canadian who has been very confused about the news coming from Britain for the past little while, this was really interesting, and you explained everything so clearly and concisely that I finally understand it (it might help that our voting system is pretty much the same as yours, you know, with Canada being a colony and all)

I think one of the best things about this is how honest you are with where your politics lies, most people in your position say 'I won't tell you who to vote for' but you come in with some important info about why the right wing just isn't the way to go

I'm almost as hyped for this as I am for The Rise of Skywalker.

i'm not even British but you had me at "placed into the hands of a public who ... regularly vote Pepsi Max better than coke" 😂

This is such a comprehensive, succinct, and fact-packed video, i love it and ive learnt more from it than i have about Brexit in the ladt 3 years. Well done. I only wish you would have put this out 3 weeks earlier so i could have applied for a postal vote instead of what is actually happening: giving up hope and not voting.

Daniel, I don't know if someone's said this already, but this was incredible. Educational, informative, targeted appropriately and not at all patronising, AND entertaining. Truly incredibly put together. well done x

I’m from the States and this is incredible and although I thought I had an understanding, this was SO INSIGHTFUL thank you !!!! Also I about pissed my pants at the “she laughed like a panto villain” 🤣🤣 Whew, that got me good

as someone who lives in america and has direct impact from the UK government I really enjoyed this video as i both like to learn about various governments and many of the ideas and sentiments you shared can be applied in similar ways in america

Very well done Dan! What a breakdown! Both entertaining and educational. Sounds like a skit of satire instead of reality. What keeps happening in politics just seems absurd.

I just hope my family in the uk is gonna be alright and don’t have to move to Australia with us

Learnt more about British politics in 20 minutes than I did in 2 years of Alevel gov&pol

i really appreciate this video! it can be hard getting caught up and informed about everything all the time and this really helps

This is a very good video. One I didn't think I'd watch but ended up enjoying (and learning - wow). Would love more!

i'll be watching the results live all night because I'm working my local count...this will be a good warmup :')

that end music sounded a bit hunger games-y which reminded me what a fucking dystopia this is. cheers for that

I'm an American with an undergrad degree in political science and a law degree where I wrote many briefs on Election law...but any time anybody asks me about UK elections all I can do is offer them a \_(ツ)_/¯. Thank you. More like this please so I can steal your knowledge and pass it off as my own and look brilliant to my peers

This helped me understand britains current political state better than anything else. Id love to see more like this!

I'm from the US so this doesn't really apply to me, but you made such an entertaining and informative video that I watched the whole thing and only spaced out like 3 times

Have you ever considered doing standup? You’ve got impeccable comedic timing

"second time in three years" 2022: HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

Brilliantly done, Daniel J. Layton. And thanks for reviving my fond memories of Burnt Sienna Crayons.

this video was literally amazing

Your sense of humour tickles me more than anything else, thanks for this excellent content

ooohh im starting to have growing interest in learning more about politics around the world and this seems like a good and easy to understand video to start with uk! cant wait to watch!!

Really good summary - more of this please Daniel!

this is BRILLIANT. you are a star daniel j, thanks for this!!

Good video. Gooooood video. Also hello Dan’s Christmas Tree 2020!

This is the best political video I've seen this election. Feeling emosh after your little bit at the end about what each vote represents 😭

As an American this has been so helpful to really get a grasp on what the hell is going on with Brexit. Good work, please send love for our political struggles 🙏

Exactly what he was talking about; I go to uni but I voted in my hometown where we voted out the Tory who had been in power for 15 years and elected a lib dem

whooop whoop Politics.
