Displaying an irreverent sense of humour and casting a sharp eye at modern Irish life, Olivia O'Leary entertains us with all the tricks and chicanery of Irish political life --
the unholy alliances between corrupt business and corruptible politicians, the election-poster shenanigans, political serial leader-killing, how the funeral men, doorknockers and those really hungry for power are the ones to win, the likelihood of Ireland having a 'baldy taoiseach', and how we should never ever underestimate small men.
She teases out the all-encompassing issues such as Britain and the war in Iraq, the decline of the Church, the arrogance of religious orders and questions such as who really controls our lives.
