Description

Shows Prime Minister Helen Clark and Finance Minister Michael Cullen sitting at a table observing the downward trend of Labour Party polling on the chart on the wall in front of them. The adviser standing beside the chart tells Helen Clark that her only chance of regaining popularity before the election is by personally supervising the burning at the stake of the Minister of Fianance. When the Prime Minister asks Michael Cullen how he feels about this advice he heroically offers himself up to martyrdom. Refers to the poor polls for the government in the run up to the 2008 election.
