Antony Jay a Jonathan Lynn napsali po triceti letech od vysílání prvních dílu slavného Jiste, pane ministre divadelní komedii, která ve Velké Británii láme divácké rekordy a aspiruje na nejúspešnejší hru desetiletí. V satire ostré jako žiletka, plné vtipných situací, rízných slovních smecu a prívalu nových hlášek jde opet jen o jedno: o politiku.

V druhé části satirického románu z prostředí vysoké politiky sledujeme Hackerovo nikdy nekončící drama směřující až k dobytí premiérského postu.
