Jarvis Cocker has said he thinks Britain needs a Conservative government.

The former Pulp frontman revealed that he has become disillusioned with Gordon Brown and the Labour party in general in an interview with GQ.

"I think his [Gordon Brown's] behaviour just makes a mockery of the whole system," Cocker is quoted as saying in the interview.

"A Conservative government is necessary. There is no credible alternative. You can sense an era passing."

Although his lyrics in songs like 'Cocaine Socialism' have attacked politics in the past, Cocker told NME.COM in 1998 that he has "always voted Labour".
