Poll: Does Russell Brand's call change your mind about who you'll vote for?
Comedian Russell Brand has split opinion after he did an about turn and urged people to vote Labour in nearly all of England and Wales on Thursday.
The comedian and activist has previously repeatedly urged people not to vote, believing it does not make a difference.
He altered his stance slightly last week by encouraging people to back Green Party candidate Caroline Lucas as she bids to be re-elected in Brighton Pavilion.
But Brand, who released new extracts from his interview with Labour leader Ed Miliband online, has now gone further in a direct appeal aimed at ending "the danger of the Conservative Party".
He said the election on May 7 would not change things overnight, adding on his YouTube channel The Trews: "There's load of things I could complain about with Ed Miliband.
"There's Trident this, the (immigration) mugs - but what's important is this bloke will be in Parliament and I think this bloke will listen to us.
"So on May 7, vote Labour. On May 8, more democracy, more power to more communities for all of us."
Brand tweeted the video to his 9.61 million followers.
"David Cameron might think I'm a joke but I don't think there's anything funny about what the Conservative Party has been doing to this country and we have to stop them," he said.
