Imbalance
Imbalance is the story of Sam who after living what seemed like a charmed life as an adult, suffers an imbalance. This forces Sam to face his negative past as a child and current challenges.

McCormick proposes a citizen body that excludes socioeconomic and political elites and grants randomly selected common people significant veto, legislative and censure authority within government and over public officials.

He tells the story of the absolute change in political climate over the last ten years and deciphers the nature of Thatcher's ''conversion'' to greenery.
