Eddie IzzardEddie Izzard has said he might be tempted to run for political office when he’s done with acting and comedy.

The Riches star told Newsweek recently that he might be tempted to become a full time politician in “a decade” because “I do like people and trying to make things work”: “We’ve got to make it work in Europe [but] people are very worried about sovereignty and the loss of sovereignty.”

He added that if he had his way, he’d like to see the EU take a more developed approach: “Logical governance is the thing. It already exists. It’s called subsidiarity, which is based on Catholic theology and is basically the idea that governance happens at its logical level.”

“I think the stakes are if we don’t make the European Union work, then the world is screwed. End of story.”
