President Ashdown Is Retiring

"Welcome to the BBC's coverage of the 2015 UK Presidential Election…"

In President Ashdown Is Retiring, the authors of Shuffling the Deck team up once again to explore the aftermath of a thoroughly modern and fundamentally Blairite republican revolution.

Now, join David Dimbleby and many familiar faces on Election Night 2015, including Business Secretary Peter Mandelson MP, Green Party Lord Senator Robert Llewellyn, a blonde-haired eccentric Mayor of London, backbench troublemaker Jacob Rees-Mogg MP, Alan Partridge, and a great many more. Told (almost) in real time, our increasingly tired journalists and their guests reveal more and more about the world in which they find themselves. It's an election night quite unlike any other, and a must-read for any political geeks who stay up late whenever there's an election on.
