Description
Once upon a time Tony-Boy and Gordon were happy. Really, really happy. Then came power, lots of lovely power, but sadly it meant that only one of them could be Chief Executive of the old firm. Behind the smiles mushrooms a mountain of sulks. The poison ivy of envy strangles their friendship. Fear eats their souls. But suddenly angels appear from on high in the shape of two luscious spin-doctors and some delicious quack remedies. Will the nation heave a sigh of relief? Is New Democracy safe?
