Ok, I've poked around alot, and I hope I've gotten the general idea down. If I've made any mistakes, let me know...
Name: Egbert Dudley
Province of Birth: Alberton, New Ulster
Ethnic Background: Scotts-English
Religion: No Denomination... Agnostic leanings
Political stance: Progressive Civil Libertarian
Party: Antillian Labour Party
Background:
Born in Februrary of 1978 to a Scottish father and English mother in the capital of Antillia, Egbert Dudley, named for his great-grandfather, who was also a political leader, grew up with a strong sense of duty for country. Dudley became active in politics just before entering University. Feeling that it was unfair that young workers could not afford college education, he joined the ALP. His strong civil libertarian streak is outside of the ALP's social sphere, but his primary interest has been economics, which fit in with the ALP's working class traditions.
Graduating school, he began his trek into local politics by winning elections until running for Parliament. Trailing a Progressive Conservative near the end of the campaign, the charismatic Dudley became a hero of the lower class with his "Hard Times" speech. Probably aimed for national exposure, the "Hard Times" speech was aimed at working class, and lower middle class individuals, as it hit on the subjects of poverty and the beleaguered nation's constitutional issues.
Dudley's charisma and his family's past history of service are his most valuable assets, and his main weakness is never having held a legislative office, and is thus new to the inner workings of Parliamentary procedure.
