Plot

A mockumentary following the exploits of an unknown, British politician who decides to strike out on his own and start a brand new political party. A young filmmaker documents his rise...and spectacular fall.

Politicians. The men in suits we love to hate. Enterprising documentary maker Sebastian Rake embarks on a journey to prove that not all politicians are expense fiddling, vacuous, power hungry vipers. Leonard Cartwright could be that man. A firm believer in straight talk, he decides to strike out on his own and start a new political party. A new movement to sweep out the tired and corrupt establishment. Sick of expense scandals and too-smooth men in suits, the nation warms to him. Rake's film has stumbled upon a brilliant subject, and he gains exclusive access as Cartwright goes from strength to strength- providing an unexpectedly healthy challenge to the main parties in the election of May 2010. The cameras are even there to document the equally spectacular downfall......—Alex Crowley
