Nasz człowiek w parlamencie

On the political outs with his own party after the events of "Who Shot Alan B’Stard?", Alan is dismayed when Victor Crosby, a man even further to the right than he, wins a by-election in Accrington and quickly becomes the new darling of the party.

Alan is summoned to the office of Sir Greville, who gives him terrible news: professor Eugene Quail, the government’s leading oil expert, has rechecked his figures and discovered that the North Sea oil will run out any day now.

While appearing on a TV talk show, Alan voices his enthusiastic support for animal testing, particularly on rabbits and other furry creatures, triggering a riot.

Alan is in a bad mood after learning that, upon the death of Piers’ father, his lackey is now a baronet and a multi-millionaire.

Alan receives shocking news: after years of neglecting his constituents—refusing to answer their letters or meet with them, and never holding surgeries – he has been deselected as the Tory candidate for Haltemprice.

Alan is visiting the Soviet Union to deliver a series of lectures on the virtues of capitalism when he is contacted by Colonel Gromyko, head of the KGB, and Freddy Ogilvy, director of MI6.
