Meet the Opposition

Stewart Pearson (Vincent Franklin)

Stewart Pearson (Vincent Franklin)

Opposition PR Guru
Brought in from the world of advertising and brand management by JB and the party chairman. Stewart's job is to make the party more voter-friendly and get them back into power. So that means lots of chumming up to the electorate in casual clothes and avoiding the trap of actually committing to any firm policies in case it alienates someone. Stewart practises what he preaches: he usually 'hangs' at opposition HQ in T-shirt and jeans.
