In the 2010 general election Iannucci supported the [Liberal Democrats](/wiki/Liberal_Democrats_%28UK%29 "Liberal Democrats (UK)"), stating: "I'll be voting Lib Dem this election because they represent the best chance in a lifetime to make lasting and fair change to how the UK is governed." After the [Conservative\-Liberal Democrat Coalition of 2010](/wiki/Cameron%E2%80%93Clegg_coalition "Cameron–Clegg coalition") was established, however, he expressed doubts over his continued support for the party, saying he was 'wavering' on many issues and has admitted to 'queasiness' over the Coalition's economic measures. He also seemed to contemplate targeting the Liberal Democrats in the fourth series of *The Thick of It*, rather as the first three had targeted what he perceived as the failings within the Labour governments of [Tony Blair](/wiki/Tony_Blair "Tony Blair") and [Gordon Brown](/wiki/Gordon_Brown "Gordon Brown").

In July 2018, Iannucci announced his support on Twitter for [People's Vote](/wiki/People%27s_Vote "People's Vote"), a campaign group calling for a public vote on the final [Brexit](/wiki/Brexit "Brexit") deal between the UK and the European Union. He also expressed these views the following month in an editorial in the *[Daily Mirror](/wiki/Daily_Mirror "Daily Mirror")*, and they went on to be reported in other British newspapers.
