A rowing team of Harold Wilson in a number 1 shirt, Edward Heath in a number 2 shirt and Jeremy Thorpe in a number 3 shirt head towards the finish line.

Context: 1974 UK general election. Heath (Conservative), Wilson (Labour) and Thorpe (Liberal) were the leaders of the three main political parties standing for election that year.

Ted Heath stands on a stage which says 'Election Theatre' above it. He is taking off a mask of a frowning face to reveal a smile underneath, whilst saying 'And now - the other me!'. The seats in front of him have no one in them, and they are labelled 'Fleet Street'.

A cart labelled 'Labour' does not have horses leading it, but rather has several political figures following a sign towards 'Elections'. They are positioned in four pairs leading back towards the cart. At the front are Harold Wilson and Robert Michael Maitland Stewart, followed by James Callaghan and another man. Behind these are Baron Healey and [Roy Harris Jenkins], with the final pairing being Barbara Castle and a man who is passing a whip to the driver.
