British politics is facing extinction. And only its worst politicians can save it. Yes, really.
The Thick of It meets Peep Show in this political satire novel.
The Right Members Club has protected British politics for over four hundred years from one thing: competence. Its members are disgraced MPs. Mark Fallow fits perfectly; newly elected, immediately ruined, nationally humiliated.
Then a pensioner's death triggers a chain reaction. The Prime Minister falls. Jackson Pierce rises to power. He hates the Establishment and starts dismantling Parliament. And, strangely, the country begins to work.
The Right Members Club faces a unique challenge: a government the public actually loves. Mark Fallow is drawn deeper into the truth behind Jackson Pierce, Parliament, and the cobwebs holding everything together.
With his marriage on the brink and Westminster unravelling, he is forced to ask: Who is Jackson Pierce? Does Britain even need Parliament? And what, exactly, is wrong with the bacon?
If you've ever wondered where disgraced MPs go... this is the book for you.
