新政治家 第一季

The article recounts the exploits of Conservative MP Alan B'Stard, a man devoid of any semblance of morality. Unabashed in his pursuit of wealth and influence within his political party, he employs any means necessary to amass power. His activities range from involvement in the drug trade, adult entertainment, and fraud (falsely establishing charities with the initials C.A.S.H when signing cheques) to even the perpetration of murder. Despite his transgressions, Alan maintains a delusional confidence in his invulnerability, as a Conservative MP, believing that his power is absolute. He holds sway over another MP, Piers Fletcher-Dervish, whose intellect is almost non-existent. Alan's wife, Sarah B'Stard, is similarly ethically flexible, indulging in numerous affairs, and has harbored resentment towards her husband since their marriage's inception. She leverages her husband's influence to satisfy her desires. Each episode intertwines contemporary news stories, with Alan adapting to the times, from the dissolution of the Cold War to the pursuit of Nazi war criminals in the late 1980s, and the rise of the Animal Freedom Party. To manage his burgeoning wealth, Alan relocates (in the fourth season) to the European Union, continuing his quest to amass even greater riches and ascend to the pinnacle of power he can attain.
