In this British political satire, an ambitious, opportunistic young man will stop at nothing to make it to the top. The tale begins as he gets a job at a failing ad agency that he turns into a great success while becoming close friends with the owner. Using his new prestige, he then begins a successful campaign for a Parliamentary seat. Once in Parliament, he begins backstabbing, and trampling his way to become the president of England, a position created especially for him.
