This book beat out work by Douglas Coupland and Will Ferguson because it is very, very good -- a terrific Canadian political satire. Here's the set up: A burnt-out politcal aide quits just before an election -- but is forced to run a hopeless campaign on the way out. He makes a deal with a crusty old Scot, Angus McLintock -- an engineering professor who will do anything, \"anything, \" to avoid teaching English to engineers -- to let his name stand in the election. No need to campaign, certain to lose, and so on. Then a great scandal blows away his opponent, and to their horror, Angus is elected. He decides to see what good an honest M.P. who doesn't care about being re-elected can do in Parliament. The results are hilarious -- and with chess, a hovercraft, and the love of a good woman thrown in, this very funny book has something for everyone.","brand":"McClelland \u0026 Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53458178244950,"sku":"9780771047589-G","price":5.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780771047589_1.jpg?v=1778042241","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/fallis-terry-the-best-laid-plans-9780771047589","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
