The Fix: How to not win female voters, according to John Oliver

UK's Labour Party has introduced a pink van as part of a push to connect with female voters ahead of May's general election there. As John Oliver pointed out on "Last Week Tonight," it looks suspiciously like a Barbie van.

"The only way it could be more patronizing if its wheels were giant NuvaRing and they refused to let women drive it," he said.

The Labour Party has tried to distance itself from the color choice, calling it magenta or cerise, but hasn't gotten rid of the van. Oliver said he's "almost glad" the party isn't doing damage control out of fear it would involve more pink, a pony, and a princess outfit.
