When Ros Pritchard breaks up a scrap between rival politicians on her store's forecourt, she little realises where it will lead her and her family. It is the lead up to a General Election widely regarded as being the dullest in living memory and Ros's spontaneous outburst - captured live by TV news crews outside her store - strikes a chord with disenchanted voters all over the country. Her impromptu decision to throw her hat in the ring and stand for elections soon creates a buzz, and as requests to appear on various news programmes start to roll in, so do phone calls from dozens of women who, inspired by Ros's stance, have decided to follow her lead and stand for election. A landslide result in favour of the Purple Alliance sees Ros Pritchard storm to power, which is where her problems really begin!
