In Ireland, “If you’re hungry enough, you’ll dig up the tar on the road with your teeth to get a vote.” It’s not only the other parties who are a threat to you; it’s your running mate. Indeed, it is the internal rivalry that can be the most “bitter and acrimonious”, as well as the “more entertaining.” Based upon three decades of ethnographic research, "All Politics is Local" is the story of a rural Irish election campaign that becomes as suspenseful as it is surprising; a memorable drama with a vivid cast of characters – leading to an unexpectedly poignant conclusion.
