He makes a deal with a crusty old Scot, Angus McLintock—an engineering professor who will do anything, \u003ci\u003eanything,\u003c\/i\u003e to avoid teaching English to engineers—to let his name stand in the election. No need to campaign, certain to lose, and so on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThen a great scandal blows away his opponent, and to their horror, Angus is elected. He decides to see what good an honest M.P. who doesn’t care about being re-elected can do in Parliament. The results are hilarious—and with chess, a hovercraft, and the love of a good woman thrown in, this very funny book has something for everyone.","brand":"McClelland \u0026 Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55753030959177,"sku":null,"price":13.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5336\/3785\/files\/14060913482462.jpg?v=1781897066","url":"https:\/\/morebetterbooks.com\/products\/the-best-laid-plans","provider":"More Better Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
