The Power Behind

The revolution wasn’t just televised. It was prime-time.

David Stellerman pitched the idea, and Westminster loved it.

Unfortunately, they didn’t check all the details.

“You didn’t say you’d let the public in,” the PM said.

Stellerman waved a hand. “It’s the auditions. The build-up. Everyone likes to laugh at the losers.”

The PM had to concede that, but regretted it when he became one of them. Stellerman said he didn’t have enough charisma for the main show.

The winner was a 19-year-old with pretty cheekbones. “Congratulations,” Stellerman smiled, letting him in to Downing Street. “I’m behind you all the way.”
