The (New) Antilla Parliament Bio Thread

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Name: Iorwerth Roberts
Age: 53
Party: Social Democratic Party
Constituency\Region: Fellsands, Peterford
Bio: Trade Unionist and politician. Roberts is one of the most powerful men in the Social Democratic Party, but he is not a household name and has never held national office. He is currently the Northern Regional Secretary of the General Workers Union and in this capacity holds a seat on the Social Democratic Party's Executive Committee. He has been a member of Fellsands City Council for over twenty five years and has led it for the past twelve; positions that he has kept despite being becoming an MP eight years ago. During his tenure as council leader, he has lavished money on the education, the arts and redevelopment programmes. To those aware of his existence or the extent of his influence, Roberts is an extremely controversial figure, regarded by his detractors as a tyrannical city boss and as one of the 'faceless men' alleged to dominate the Social Democratic Party, but by his allies as an effective negotiator, as a dynamic local leader and as a calming influence on a heavily factionalised Party. Corruption allegations were leveled against Roberts three years ago by an investigative reporter, but no charges were ever brought

No Guilds, please. This is not the Discworld.

If we assume that Parliament has a whipping system (and of course it does) then that's not really a problem.
