Sophie Alderson is in love with The West Wing. She watched all 7 seasons whilst recovering from a double hernia operation and now she believes the rest of world politics should look this good. Firm in the belief that it is the greatest political documentary ever made, she has set out on her own political path to find out what makes a truly great leader. Maybe she can even become one herself, if she could only get her theme tune right. Sophie Alderson Is Running For President is Sophie’s last chance to get the feedback she so desperately needs from the general public before she takes on David Cameron and possibly Barack Obama- if he ever RSVPs - in a live debate in Bluewater shopping centre in September 2011. She has been doing her research as well; from video interviews with Important People to her dressing up box of possible ‘looks’, she needs the audience in this unorthodox focus group to help her choose between Bunga Bunga parties and a Big Society. Between Margaret Thatcher’s sensible court shoe, or Kim Jong Il’s built-up loafers. Some questions need answers.
