What to expect
The perfect gift for fans of The Thick of It, Have I Got News for You and general moaning about the UK government. The country has chosen but might they have chosen YOU to be the next Prime Minister?
Most of us know our limitations, especially when it comes to a career choice. We watch documentaries about A&E departments and the heroes who work there, and we think no. Oh no, thanks very much. We wouldn't have the nerve, or the stamina, or the resilience to do THAT.
But who amongst us hasn’t looked at the woeful performance of a prime minister and thought: ‘Really, is that all there is to it? Even I could do that’.
Now is your opportunity to familiarise yourself with what the job of prime minister actually is. This satirical and illuminating guide takes you through the craft and mystery of it all – packed full of quizzes, personality tests and much more – to see if you’ve got what it takes. In this book you will find:
- Media training: top professional advice for the novice aspirational politician, including live rehearsals with interviewers, trick questions, sustained ignoring and how to choose the perfect walk on track.
- PM Cards: which one of the past PMs is your political guiding light?
- How to survive your first year: secure a nickname and push through as much as you can.
- A Brief History of the Office of PMs: it won't surprise you to learn that they simply made it up as they went along.
Written by Ian Martin, Emmy award winning writer, who was a core member for The Thick of It (and their swearing consultant too), Veep and The Death of Stalin, this is the ultimate guide to keep you and the family (or should we say your performance coaches) busy to see whether you’re going to be our next Prime Minister this year.
GOOD LUCK!
