In the genre of documentaries where the film maker takes a project which drives the narrative the film maker John Walsh turn his back of his live long support of the Labour Party and joins the ranks of the Tories. For some Labour supporters it is better red than dead but John does the unthinkable and pins the blue rosette on his lapel. In going through this journey we are confronted with what is actually happening on the ground and this is the strength of the movie. You will get a greater understanding of the political climate of this time from watching this than watching political commentators on the TV or convoluted analysis in the broadsheets. I found it entertaining and felt that John Walsh gave it the right tone to have it be watchable. The frustrations and the absurdity of the political circus had its humorous moments. Overall worth watching.
