Obviously this contains spoilers for House of Cards…

Have you watched Season 5 of House of Cards yet? It’s completely understandable if you sat down and watched the entire season in one insomnia fuelled Netflix binge.

Hell, it took everything we had not to watch it in work the Tuesday it was released… but we didn’t OK, just to be clear on that.

Yes, we will repeat, everything you’re about to see below contains spoilers.

It all got a little bit complicated in Season 5 of House Of Cards when it became clear that The Underwoods were not going to win the election. Something drastic had to be done.

Hence all the chaos with claims of terrorism and the like, disrupting voting in two crucial states.

For those of you unfamiliar with the American political system, it may have been just a tad, or extremely, confusing.

But luckily, Doug Stamper AKA Michael Kelly, is on hand (in a bathtub for some reason) to break everything down for you.
