This is probably the best part of the book, as Arthur pokes large holes in his opposition by coming up with common sense answers to the political questions of the day and by not side-stepping and obfuscating the questions and issues.
Arthur's political opposition is not portrayed with any depth, basically an attempt at a caricature of the 'standard' political hack, but it would have been better if they had been portrayed with more depth, intelligence, and political savvy.
In it, the legend of King Arthur is turned on his head as Arthur, Merlin and other characters from the time arrive after ten centuries of hiding into the modern craziness of the twentieth century.
