I barely understand what goes on in the US version, even with all my next-door-neighbor exposure to their political shenanigans, let alone the British version.
Kevin Spacey (whom I love, generally) is ruthless and power-hungry for 5 seasons, even though he kind of accomplished the obvious series-arc goal in the second season. It's hard to watch him continue to connive and simper when there's not that much left to be earned by doing so.
