An alien politician whose world was colonised by humans must fight a corrupt system and a supremacist organisation to rise to the top.

This is a run of the mill criticism of colonialisation relocated to an alien plant. "Evil" humans colonise and oppress, native fights back - there have been so many stories told about this to date, aside from the alien, I don't see how this brings anything new to the table. What does the alien do that makes his actions interesting? How does he plan on freeing his people? Will there be a revolt?

I see this as ET meets Ghandi

The Alien wants to win office to bring about change and return self determination.

An alien wants to win an election and get the power to expell humans that colonised his plant but a corrupt system and attack by human supremacist put himself and all he loves in danger.

Really wordy. But my first attempt.

As Foxtrot25 said.? Why would an audience root for an alien species?? Particularly one in conflict with our own species?
