It covers the wide ideological tent of Conservatism, Libretarianism, and Historical Liberalism.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Created in December 2018 by Jason Miner, ABC is the longest running news organisation within AGS. It is currently run by [[D.a.barchipelago]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Team==&lt;br /&gt;
Various people have served on the ABC team. These include but are not limited to:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[D.a.barchipelago]] (current head)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Arkenstone]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[SteB]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Hagen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Aegeus Pheonix]] (all current writers or contributors)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Justin]] (former head, copy editor)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Jason Miner]] (former head, retired)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Adam Hello]] (retired)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Andrew Glaze]] (retired)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Godbout]] (retired)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[ComputerGuy]] (retired)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
===Miner leadership===&lt;br /&gt;
Initially, ABC was heavily right wing biased: it only had [[Republican]] party members, and the founder and owner was notorious in his partisanship. It constantly predicted elections wildly in favour of the right. Miner kept leaving and re-joining ABC, leading to short gaps in his tenure which were usually filled by [[Glaze]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Glaze leadership===&lt;br /&gt;
Glaze led ABC in the short periods in-between and after Miner&#039;s leadership. His main contribution was making Justin head of ABC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Early to mid Justin leadership===&lt;br /&gt;
Justin took over ABC on April 29th&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Barch]] on [[Justin]]&#039;s leadership of ABC:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Justin was the man that made ABC. He turned it around from a partisan dump to an influential, and an organisation that was widely recognised as fair and accurate, with good quality content&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Justin created multiple shows, such as the Jacob&#039;s report, welcomed Lampolling into ABC news after [[Lamport]] became president, and interviewed many people, such as [[Butterlands]], [[Garland]] and others. He was also responsible for the hiring of Barch, who became ABC&#039;s polling and political analyst.  Justin reignited activity in other members, and encouraged them to write news coverage and interview candidates for various elections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Late Justin leadership===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Barch Leadership===&lt;br /&gt;

==Team==&lt;br /&gt;
Various people have served on the ABC team. These include but are not limited to:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[D.a.barchipelago]] (current head)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Arkenstone]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[SteB]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Hagen]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Aegeus Pheonix]] (all current writers or contributors)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Justin]] (former head, copy editor)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Jason Miner]] (former head, retired)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Adam Hello]] (retired)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Andrew Glaze]] (retired)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Godbout]] (retired)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[ComputerGuy]] (retired)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
===Miner leadership===&lt;br /&gt;
Initially, ABC was heavily right wing biased: it only had [[Republican]] party members, and the founder and owner was notorious in his partisanship. It constantly predicted elections wildly in favour of the right. Miner kept leaving and re-joining ABC, leading to short gaps in his tenure which were usually filled by [[Glaze]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Glaze leadership===&lt;br /&gt;
Glaze led ABC in the short periods in-between and after Miner&#039;s leadership. His main contribution was making Justin head of ABC&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Early to mid Justin leadership===&lt;br /&gt;
Justin took over ABC on April 29th&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Barch]] on [[Justin]]&#039;s leadership of ABC:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Justin was the man that made ABC. He turned it around from a partisan dump to an influential, and an organisation that was widely recognised as fair and accurate, with good quality content&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Justin created multiple shows, such as the Jacob&#039;s report, welcomed Lampolling into ABC news after [[Lamport]] became president, and interviewed many people, such as [Butterlands]], [[Garland]] and others. He was also responsible for the hiring of Barch, who became ABC&#039;s polling and political analyst.  Justin reignited activity in other members, and encouraged them to write news coverage and interview candidates for various elections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Late Justin leadership===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Barch Leadership===&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
d.a.barchipelago joined AGS on January 12th, 2019. He joined the [[Progressive Party]] immediately. He served as a Senator and MP, and was a founding member of the [[Labor Party]]. He is commonly known as Barch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political Beliefs==&lt;br /&gt;
D.a.barchipelago is a green Moderate Leftist, with large libertarian streaks. He controversially supported LOTRcare (public option) , but would prefer a national health service over it. He fights for democractic integrity, supports campaign funding caps, anti-gerrymandering measures and is a prominent critic of Electoral College, and has made many attempts to repeal it. He is also a strong advocate for better mental health provisions. If you ask him which issue is most important to him, he will always say protecting the planet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Jefferson Parliament==&lt;br /&gt;
Early on, barch joined the [[Progressive Party]] and the [[Justice Progressives]]. This allowed him, in a suprise upset, to beat [[Cool dad™]] in the Jefferson Parliament Progressive Primary, meaning he was top of the ticket. Due to low all round campaigning (not from barch though) he ended up being the only Progressive elected, making him automatically minority leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was elected successfully in the elections following the communist exodus, and for a third term in the following June elections. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following August he failed to win re-election to Parliament, which meant for the first time ever, there was no Labor or Progressive member in Parliament. However, the Anarchist .E won her election, and promptly permanently made [[Thanos]] her proxy, so while not an official member, there was &#039;technically&#039; a Laborite in parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully elected to Parliament in October, and for the first time was part of the majority caucus with [[Hombre]] and hopeful candidate. He was elected speaker, and oversaw a fruitful session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December he was elected to Parliament yet again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He resigned from Parliament after becoming the President.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Congress==&lt;br /&gt;
He was nominated by [[ProgressiveMinded]] as his proxy in the house. This allowed him to gain some legislative experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following his proxying for ProgressiveMinded, he ran for JF-4 against [[Putbye]]. He narrowly lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the [[Second Communist Exodus]], d.a.barchipelago founded the [[Labor Party]] with [[Lohengramm]], [[Matthew Hale]], [[codegreen]] and [[MichiganLefty]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He then ran, simultaneously, for Senate and Parliament, and got elected to both. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was on the list for possible July Presidential election candidates, but discounted a presidential bid, and instead sought re-election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully re-elected to his Senate seat, even though all the polls predicted that [[Valerie]] would take it from him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a Senator until he became Vice President.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Federal Executive Branch==&lt;br /&gt;
Barch served as Secretary of Energy under Lamport, LOTR and Patty&#039;s administration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He ran for Vice President in the November federals, and was successfully elected with [[MichiganLefty]] as President. As Vice President, he wasn&#039;t active much, nor was the administration in general. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 18, 2020, he was sworn in by Chief Justice [[Lamport]] as the 54th President of the United States, the day following President MichiganLefty&#039;s historic resignation. President Barch made a few press releases and signed a few bills, along with one Executive Order withdrawing troops from Non-NATO nations, but he tragically suffered an intense bout of Depression, leading him to nothing while in office. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A joint resolution was proposed by Representative [[John Boehner]], H.J.Res.19, to impeach Barch for inactiveness. It passed the [[House of Representatives]] on February 2, 2020, with 17 [[Representatives]] in favor, and 2 abstaining. He was convicted in the [[Senate]] with all six [[Senators]] voting to convict him, after a three day trial. This makes Barch the third President in history to be impeached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a period out of politics, the sudden resignation of [[Peanut]] as HHS Secretary led President [[Valerie]] to reach out to Barch to ask if he wanted the job. After some consideration, he decided to accept, and him, Valerie and VP [[Cabin]] lead the effort against COVID-19.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Parties==&lt;br /&gt;
When Barch first joined, he joined the Progressive Party. He was a member of the Justice Progressive movement, which meant he was elected to the PNEC. Upon the disbanding of the Progressives, he was a founding member of the Labor Party, and sat on the LNC for over seven months. He ran for party leadership in November, and became Party Chair, with [[Hale]] as his Vice Chair. He chose not to run for a second term in January, but remained a member. When the Labor Party disbanded, he became an independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other activities==&lt;br /&gt;
Barch has worked at ABC for a very long time, and also ran the Green Uprising organisation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After being impeached, Barch remained inactive for two months. After he came back, he decided not to immediately re-enter politics, and instead ran the news organisation [[ABC]]. He became head of ABC on 11th May 2020, after Justin stepped down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He also was the main driving force behind the lobbying reform, and became a lobbyist himself (as a separate RP character).&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
d.a.barchipelago joined AGS on January 12th, 2019. He joined the [[Progressive Party]] immediately. He served as a Senator and MP, and was a founding member of the [[Labor Party]]. He is commonly known as Barch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political Beliefs==&lt;br /&gt;
D.a.barchipelago is a green Moderate Leftist, with large libertarian streaks. He controversially supported LOTRcare (public option) , but would prefer a national health service over it. He fights for democractic integrity, supports campaign funding caps, anti-gerrymandering measures and is a prominent critic of Electoral College, and has made many attempts to repeal it. He is also a strong advocate for better mental health provisions. If you ask him which issue is most important to him, he will always say protecting the planet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Jefferson Parliament==&lt;br /&gt;
Early on, barch joined the [[Progressive Party]] and the [[Justice Progressives]]. This allowed him, in a suprise upset, to beat [[Cool dad™]] in the Jefferson Parliament Progressive Primary, meaning he was top of the ticket. Due to low all round campaigning (not from barch though) he ended up being the only Progressive elected, making him automatically minority leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was elected successfully in the elections following the communist exodus, and for a third term in the following June elections. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following August he failed to win re-election to Parliament, which meant for the first time ever, there was no Labor or Progressive member in Parliament. However, the Anarchist .E won her election, and promptly permanently made [[Thanos]] her proxy, so while not an official member, there was &#039;technically&#039; a Laborite in parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully elected to Parliament in October, and for the first time was part of the majority caucus with [[Hombre]] and hopeful candidate. He was elected speaker, and oversaw a fruitful session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December he was elected to Parliament yet again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He resigned from Parliament after becoming the President.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Congress==&lt;br /&gt;
He was nominated by [[ProgressiveMinded]] as his proxy in the house. This allowed him to gain some legislative experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following his proxying for ProgressiveMinded, he ran for JF-4 against [[Putbye]]. He narrowly lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the [[Second Communist Exodus]], d.a.barchipelago founded the [[Labor Party]] with [[Lohengramm]], [[Matthew Hale]], [[codegreen]] and [[MichiganLefty]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He then ran, simultaneously, for Senate and Parliament, and got elected to both. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was on the list for possible July Presidential election candidates, but discounted a presidential bid, and instead sought re-election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully re-elected to his Senate seat, even though all the polls predicted that [[Valerie]] would take it from him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a Senator until he became Vice President.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Federal Executive Branch==&lt;br /&gt;
Barch served as Secretary of Energy under Lamport, LOTR and Patty&#039;s administration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He ran for Vice President in the November federals, and was successfully elected with [[MichiganLefty]] as President. As Vice President, he wasn&#039;t active much, nor was the administration in general. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 18, 2020, he was sworn in by Chief Justice [[Lamport]] as the 54th President of the United States, the day following President MichiganLefty&#039;s historic resignation. President Barch made a few press releases and signed a few bills, along with one Executive Order withdrawing troops from Non-NATO nations, but he tragically suffered an intense bout of Depression, leading him to nothing while in office. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A joint resolution was proposed by Representative [[John Boehner]], H.J.Res.19, to impeach Barch for inactiveness. It passed the [[House of Representatives]] on February 2, 2020, with 17 [[Representatives]] in favor, and 2 abstaining. He was convicted in the [[Senate]] with all six [[Senators]] voting to convict him, after a three day trial. This makes Barch the third President in history to be impeached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a period out of politics, the sudden resignation of [[Peanut]] as HHS Secretary led President [[Valerie]] to reach out to Barch to ask if he wanted the job. After some consideration, he decided to accept, and him, Valerie and VP [[Cabin]] lead the effort against COVID-19.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Parties==&lt;br /&gt;
When Barch first joined, he joined the Progressive Party. He was a member of the Justice Progressive movement, which meant he was elected to the PNEC. Upon the disbanding of the Progressives, he was a founding member of the Labor Party, and sat on the LNC for over seven months. He ran for party leadership in November, and became Party Chair, with [[Hale]] as his Vice Chair. He chose not to run for a second term in January, but remained a member. When the Labor Party disbanded, he became an independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other activities==&lt;br /&gt;
Barch has worked at ABC for a very long time, and also ran the Green Uprising organisation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After being impeached, Barch remained inactive for two months. After he came back, he decided not to immediately re-enter politics, and instead ran the news organisation [[ABC]]. He also was the main driving force behind the lobbying reform, and became a lobbyist himself (as a separate RP character).&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

He also was the main driving force behind the lobbying reform, and became a lobbyist himself (as a separate RP character).&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
d.a.barchipelago joined AGS on January 12th, 2019. He joined the [[Progressive Party]] immediately. He served as a Senator and MP, and was a founding member of the [[Labor Party]]. He is commonly known as Barch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political Beliefs==&lt;br /&gt;
D.a.barchipelago is a green Moderate Leftist, with large libertarian streaks. He controversially supported LOTRcare (public option) , but would prefer a national health service over it. He fights for democractic integrity, supports campaign funding caps, anti-gerrymandering measures and is a prominent critic of Electoral College, and has made many attempts to repeal it. He is also a strong advocate for better mental health provisions. If you ask him which issue is most important to him, he will always say protecting the planet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Jefferson Parliament==&lt;br /&gt;
Early on, barch joined the [[Progressive Party]] and the [[Justice Progressives]]. This allowed him, in a suprise upset, to beat [[Cool dad™]] in the Jefferson Parliament Progressive Primary, meaning he was top of the ticket. Due to low all round campaigning (not from barch though) he ended up being the only Progressive elected, making him automatically minority leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was elected successfully in the elections following the communist exodus, and for a third term in the following June elections. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following August he failed to win re-election to Parliament, which meant for the first time ever, there was no Labor or Progressive member in Parliament. However, the Anarchist .E won her election, and promptly permanently made [[Thanos]] her proxy, so while not an official member, there was &#039;technically&#039; a Laborite in parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully elected to Parliament in October, and for the first time was part of the majority caucus with [[Hombre]] and hopeful candidate. He was elected speaker, and oversaw a fruitful session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December he was elected to Parliament yet again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He resigned from Parliament after becoming the President.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Congress==&lt;br /&gt;
He was nominated by [[ProgressiveMinded]] as his proxy in the house. This allowed him to gain some legislative experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following his proxying for ProgressiveMinded, he ran for JF-4 against [[Putbye]]. He narrowly lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the [[Second Communist Exodus]], d.a.barchipelago founded the [[Labor Party]] with [[Lohengramm]], [[Matthew Hale]], [[codegreen]] and [[MichiganLefty]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He then ran, simultaneously, for Senate and Parliament, and got elected to both. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was on the list for possible July Presidential election candidates, but discounted a presidential bid, and instead sought re-election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully re-elected to his Senate seat, even though all the polls predicted that [[Valerie]] would take it from him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a Senator until he became Vice President.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Federal Executive Branch==&lt;br /&gt;
Barch served as Secretary of Energy under Lamport, LOTR and Patty&#039;s administration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He ran for Vice President in the November federals, and was successfully elected with [[MichiganLefty]] as President. As Vice President, he wasn&#039;t active much, nor was the administration in general. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 18, 2020, he was sworn in by Chief Justice [[Lamport]] as the 54th President of the United States, the day following President MichiganLefty&#039;s historic resignation. President Barch made a few press releases and signed a few bills, along with one Executive Order withdrawing troops from Non-NATO nations, but he tragically suffered an intense bout of Depression, leading him to nothing while in office. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A joint resolution was proposed by Representative [[John Boehner]], H.J.Res.19, to impeach Barch for inactiveness. It passed the [[House of Representatives]] on February 2, 2020, with 17 [[Representatives]] in favor, and 2 abstaining. He was convicted in the [[Senate]] with all six [[Senators]] voting to convict him, after a three day trial. This makes Barch the third President in history to be impeached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a period out of politics, the sudden resignation of [[Peanut]] as HHS Secretary led President [[Valerie]] to reach out to Barch to ask if he wanted the job. After some consideration, he decided to accept, and him, Valerie and VP [[Cabin]] lead the effort against COVID-19.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Parties==&lt;br /&gt;
When Barch first joined, he joined the Progressive Party. He was a member of the Justice Progressive movement, which meant he was elected to the PNEC. Upon the disbanding of the Progressives, he was a founding member of the Labor Party, and sat on the LNC for over seven months. He ran for party leadership in November, and became Party Chair, with [[Hale]] as his Vice Chair. He chose not to run for a second term in January, but remained a member. When the Labor Party disbanded, he became an independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other activities==&lt;br /&gt;
Barch has worked at ABC for a very long time, and also ran the Green Uprising organisation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After being impeached, Barch remained inactive for two months. After he came back, he decided not to immediately re-enter politics, and instead ran the news organisation [[ABC]].

After a period out of politics, the sudden resignation of [[Peanut]] as HHS Secretary led President [[Valerie]] to reach out to Barch to ask if he wanted the job. After some consideration, he decided to accept, and him, Valerie and VP [[Cabin]] lead the effort against COVID-19.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Parties==&lt;br /&gt;
When Barch first joined, he joined the Progressive Party. He was a member of the Justice Progressive movement, which meant he was elected to the PNEC. Upon the disbanding of the Progressives, he was a founding member of the Labor Party, and sat on the LNC for over seven months. He ran for party leadership in November, and became Party Chair, with [[Hale]] as his Vice Chair. He chose not to run for a second term in January, but remained a member. When the Labor Party disbanded, he became an independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Other activities==&lt;br /&gt;
Barch has worked at ABC for a very long time, and also ran the Green Uprising organisation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After being impeached, Barch remained inactive for two months. After he came back, he decided not to immediately re-enter politics, and instead ran the news organisation [[ABC]]. He also was the main driving force behind the lobbying reform, and became a lobbyist himself.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

d.a.barchipelago joined AGS on January 12th, 2019. He joined the [[Progressive Party]] immediately. He served as a Senator and MP, and was a founding member of the [[Labor Party]]. He is commonly known as Barch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political Beliefs==&lt;br /&gt;
D.a.barchipelago is a green Moderate Leftist, with large libertarian streaks. He controversially supported LOTRcare (public option) , but would prefer a national health service over it. He fights for democractic integrity, supports campaign funding caps, anti-gerrymandering measures and is a prominent critic of Electoral College, and has made many attempts to repeal it. He is also a strong advocate for better mental health provisions. If you ask him which issue is most important to him, he will always say protecting the planet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Jefferson Parliament==&lt;br /&gt;
Early on, barch joined the [[Progressive Party]] and the [[Justice Progressives]]. This allowed him, in a suprise upset, to beat [[Cool dad™]] in the Jefferson Parliament Progressive Primary, meaning he was top of the ticket. Due to low all round campaigning (not from barch though) he ended up being the only Progressive elected, making him automatically minority leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was elected successfully in the elections following the communist exodus, and for a third term in the following June elections. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following August he failed to win re-election to Parliament, which meant for the first time ever, there was no Labor or Progressive member in Parliament. However, the Anarchist .E won her election, and promptly permanently made [[Thanos]] her proxy, so while not an official member, there was &#039;technically&#039; a Laborite in parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully elected to Parliament in October, and for the first time was part of the majority caucus with [[Hombre]] and hopeful candidate. He was elected speaker, and oversaw a fruitful session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December he was elected to Parliament yet again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He resigned from Parliament after becoming the President.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Congress==&lt;br /&gt;
He was nominated by [[ProgressiveMinded]] as his proxy in the house. This allowed him to gain some legislative experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following his proxying for ProgressiveMinded, he ran for JF-4 against [[Putbye]]. He narrowly lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the [[Second Communist Exodus]], d.a.barchipelago founded the [[Labor Party]] with [[Lohengramm]], [[Matthew Hale]], [[codegreen]] and [[MichiganLefty]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He then ran, simultaneously, for Senate and Parliament, and got elected to both. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was on the list for possible July Presidential election candidates, but discounted a presidential bid, and instead sought re-election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully re-elected to his Senate seat, even though all the polls predicted that [[Valerie]] would take it from him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He served as a Senator until he became Vice President.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Federal Executive Branch==&lt;br /&gt;
Barch served as Secretary of Energy under Lamport, LOTR and Patty&#039;s administration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He ran for Vice President in the November federals, and was successfully elected with [[MichiganLefty]] as President. As Vice President, he wasn&#039;t active much, nor was the administration in general. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 18, 2020, he was sworn in by Chief Justice [[Lamport]] as President of the United States, the day following President MichiganLefty&#039;s historic resignation. President Barch made a few press releases and signed a few bills, along with one Executive Order withdrawing troops from Non-NATO nations, but he tragically suffered an intense bout of Depression, leading him to nothing while in office. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A joint resolution was proposed by Representative [[John Boehner]], H.J.Res.19, to impeach Barch for inactiveness. It passed the [[House of Representatives]] on February 2, 2020, with 17 [[Representatives]] in favor, and 2 abstaining. He was convicted in the [[Senate]] with all six [[Senators]] voting to convict him, after a three day trial. This makes Barch the third President in history to be impeached.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a period out of politics, the sudden resignation of [[Peanut]] as HHS Secretary led President [[Valerie]] to reach out to Barch to ask if he wanted the job. After some consideration, he decided to accept, and him, Valerie and VP [[Cabin]] lead the effort against COVID-19.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
d.a.barchipelago joined AGS on January 12th, 2019. He joined the [[Progressive Party]] immediately. He served as a Senator and MP, and was a founding member of the [[Labor Party]]. He is commonly known as Barch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political Beliefs==&lt;br /&gt;
D.a.barchipelago is a green Moderate Leftist, with large libertarian streaks. He controversially supported LOTRcare (public option) , but would prefer a national health service over it. He fights for democractic integrity, supports campaign funding caps, anti-gerrymandering measures and is a prominent critic of Electoral College, and has made many attempts to repeal it. He is also a strong advocate for better mental health provisions. If you ask him which issue is most important to him, he will always say protecting the planet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Jefferson Parliament==&lt;br /&gt;
Early on, barch joined the [[Progressive Party]] and the [[Justice Progressives]]. This allowed him, in a suprise upset, to beat [[Cool dad™]] in the Jefferson Parliament Progressive Primary, meaning he was top of the ticket. Due to low all round campaigning (not from barch though) he ended up being the only Progressive elected, making him automatically minority leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was elected successfully in the elections following the communist exodus, and for a third term in the following June elections. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following August he failed to win re-election to Parliament, which meant for the first time ever, there was no Labor or Progressive member in Parliament. However, the Anarchist .E won her election, and promptly permanently made [[Thanos]] her proxy, so while not an official member, there was &#039;technically&#039; a Laborite in parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully elected to Parliament in October, and for the first time was part of the majority caucus with [[Hombre]] and hopeful candidate. He was elected speaker, and oversaw a fruitful session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December he was elected to Parliament yet again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He resigned from Parliament after becoming the President.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Federal Government==&lt;br /&gt;
He was nominated by [[ProgressiveMinded]] as his proxy in the house. This allowed him to gain some legislative experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following his proxying for ProgressiveMinded, he ran for JF-4 against [[Putbye]]. He narrowly lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the [[Second Communist Exodus]], d.a.barchipelago founded the [[Labor Party]] with [[Lohengramm]], [[Matthew Hale]], [[codegreen]] and [[MichiganLefty]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He then ran, simultaneously, for Senate and Parliament, and got elected to both. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was on the list for possible July Presidential election candidates, but discounted a presidential bid, and instead sought re-election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully re-elected to his Senate seat, even though all the polls predicted that [[Valerie]] would take it from him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He ran for Vice President in the November federals, and was successfully elected with [[MichiganLefty]] as President. As Vice President, he wasn&#039;t active much, nor was the administration in general. On January 18, 2020, he was sworn in by Chief Justice [[Lamport]] as President of the United States, the day following President MichiganLefty&#039;s historic resignation. President Barch made a few press releases and signed a few bills, along with one Executive Order withdrawing troops from Non-NATO nations, but he quickly fell inactive. A joint resolution was proposed by Representative [[John Boehner]], H.J.Res.19, to impeach Barch for inactiveness. It passed the [[House of Representatives]] on February 2, 2020, with 17 [[Representatives]] in favor, and 2 abstaining. He was convicted in the [[Senate]] with all six [[Senators]] voting to convict him, after a three day trial. This makes Barch the third President in history to be impeached and the first to be convicted on all charges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Parties==&lt;br /&gt;
When Barch first joined, he joined the Progressive Party. He was a member of the Justice Progressive movement, which meant he was elected to the PNEC. Upon the disbanding of the Progressives, he was a founding member of the Labor Party, and sat on the LNC for over seven months. He ran for party leadership in November, and became Party Chair, with [[Hale]] as his Vice Chair. He chose not to run for a second term in January, but remained a member. When the Labor Party disbanded, he became an independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==After Impeachment==&lt;br /&gt;
After being impeached, Barch remained inactive for two months. After he came back, he decided not to re-enter politics, and instead ran the news organisation [[ABC]]. He also was the main driving force behind the lobbying reform, and became a lobbyist himself.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

d.a.barchipelago joined AGS on January 12th, 2019. He joined the [[Progressive Party]] immediately. He served as a Senator and MP, and was a founding member of the [[Labor Party]]. He is commonly known as Barch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political Beliefs==&lt;br /&gt;
D.a.barchipelago is a green Moderate Leftist, with large libertarian streaks. He controversially supported LOTRcare (public option) , but would prefer a national health service over it. He fights for democractic integrity, supports campaign funding caps, anti-gerrymandering measures and is a prominent critic of Electoral College, and has made many attempts to repeal it. If you ask him which issue is most important to him, he will always say protecting the planet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Jefferson Parliament==&lt;br /&gt;
Early on, barch joined the [[Progressive Party]] and the [[Justice Progressives]]. This allowed him, in a suprise upset, to beat [[Cool dad™]] in the Jefferson Parliament Progressive Primary, meaning he was top of the ticket. Due to low all round campaigning (not from barch though) he ended up being the only Progressive elected, making him automatically minority leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was elected successfully in the elections following the communist exodus, and for a third term in the following June elections. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following August he failed to win re-election to Parliament, which meant for the first time ever, there was no Labor or Progressive member in Parliament. However, the Anarchist .E won her election, and promptly permanently made Thanos her proxy, so while not an official member, there was &#039;technically&#039; a Laborite in parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully elected to Parliament in October, and for the first time was part of the majority caucus with [[Hombre]] and hopeful candidate. He was elected speaker, and oversaw a fruitful session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December he was elected to Parliament yet again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Federal Government==&lt;br /&gt;
He was nominated by [[ProgressiveMinded]] as his proxy in the house. This allowed him to gain some legislative experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following his proxying for ProgressiveMinded, he ran for JF-4 against [[Putbye]]. He narrowly lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the [[Second Communist Exodus]], d.a.barchipelago founded the [[Labor Party]] with [[Lohengramm]], [[Matthew Hale]], [[codegreen]] and [[MichiganLefty]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He then ran, simultaneously, for Senate and Parliament, and got elected to both. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was on the list for possible July Presidential election candidates, but discounted a presidential bid, and instead sought re-election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully re-elected to his Senate seat, even though all the polls predicted that [[Valerie]] would take it from him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He ran for Vice President in the November federals, and was successfully elected with [[MichiganLefty]] as President. As Vice President, he wasn&#039;t active much, nor was the administration in general. On January 18, 2020, he was sworn in by Chief Justice [[Lamport]] as President of the United States, the day following President MichiganLefty&#039;s historic resignation. President Barch made a few press releases and signed a few bills, along with one Executive Order withdrawing troops from Non-NATO nations, but he quickly fell inactive. A joint resolution was proposed by Representative [[John Boehner]], H.J.Res.19, to impeach Barch for inactiveness. It passed the [[House of Representatives]] on February 2, 2020, with 17 [[Representatives]] in favor, and 2 abstaining. He was convicted in the [[Senate]] with all six [[Senators]] voting to convict him, after a three day trial. This makes Barch the third President in history to be impeached and the first to be convicted on all charges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Parties==&lt;br /&gt;
When Barch first joined, he joined the Progressive Party. He was a member of the Justice Progressive movement, which meant he was elected to the PNEC. Upon the disbanding of the Progressives, he was a founding member of the Labor Party, and sat on the LNC for over seven months. He ran for party leadership in November, and became Party Chair, with [[Hale]] as his Vice Chair. He chose not to run for a second term in January, but remained a member. When the Labor Party disbanded, he became an independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==After Impeachment==&lt;br /&gt;
After being impeached, Barch remained inactive for two months. After he came back, he decided not to re-enter politics, and instead ran the news organisation [[ABC]]. He also was the main driving force behind the lobbying reform, and became a lobbyist himself.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The &#039;&#039;&#039;AGS Mod Team&#039;&#039;&#039; are the server and simulation moderators. The Mod Team runs elections, hires clerks, creates and enforces rules, and does whatever is necessary to keep AGS operational. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning, there were but two Moderators that made up the AGS Mod Team. Those two individuals were [[PirateCody]] and [[MaThFoBeWiYo]]. On January 27th, 2018, [[MikeSmith_SnowNation]] was invited by the two standing moderators to join the team. Mike&#039;s primary purpose and goal upon his induction was taming the Main discord server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then followed a period when aside from a head mod and a couple of longer term mods, mods mainly only stayed a mod for one or two election cycles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the [[Second Communist Exodus]] this largely stopped. MaTh took over as head mod for a while, but as [[DisguisedJet719]] did most of the work, and [[MaTh]] got hired for irl presidential campaigns he resigned, and became a regular mod. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Jet]] began his term in early July 2019.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Purpose of Subordinate Organisations==&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Clerks&#039;&#039;&#039; are responsible for rolling new members, disciplining members, organising channels etc., as well as their unofficial role to generally abuse their power (😜).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Federal and State Server Clerks&#039;&#039;&#039; role new members and preside over legislative chambers when &#039;&#039;absolutely&#039;&#039; necessary. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Random Events Committee&#039;&#039;&#039; generate interesting scenarios for AGS members to react to, such as the [[Nashville Shooting]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Recruiters&#039;&#039;&#039; have the permission to generate invite links, and they are responsible for ensuring AGS has a healthy number of members. Its all in the job title, really. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;AGS Board of Historians&#039;&#039;&#039; is responsible for maintaining this Wiki, so people know what happened yonks ago, or can at least find out what happened if they want to (who would though 🙄).&lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Barch: /* Moderators */&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The &#039;&#039;&#039;AGS Mod Team&#039;&#039;&#039; are the server and simulation moderators. The Mod Team runs elections, hires clerks, creates and enforces rules, and does whatever is necessary to keep AGS operational. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the beginning, there were but two Moderators that made up the AGS Mod Team. Those two individuals were [[PirateCody]] and [[MaThFoBeWiYo]]. On January 27th, 2018, [[MikeSmith_SnowNation]] was invited by the two standing moderators to join the team. Mike&#039;s primary purpose and goal upon his induction was taming the Main discord server.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then followed a period when aside from a head mod and a couple of longer term mods, mods mainly only stayed a mod for one or two election cycles. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the [[Second Communist Exodus]] this largely stopped. MaTh took over as head mod for a while, but as [[DisguisedJet719]] did most of the work, and [[MaTh]] got hired for irl presidential campaigns he resigned, and became a regular mod. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Jet]] began his term in early July 2019.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Purpose of Subordinate Organisations==&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Clerks&#039;&#039;&#039; are responsible for rolling new members, disciplining members, organising channels etc., as well as their unofficial role to generally abuse their power (😜).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Federal and State Server Clerks&#039;&#039;&#039; role new members and preside over legislative chambers when &#039;&#039;absolutely&#039;&#039; necessary. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Random Events Committee&#039;&#039;&#039; generate interesting scenarios for AGS members to react to, such as the [[Nashville Shooting]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Recruiters&#039;&#039;&#039; have the permission to generate invite links, and they are responsible for ensuring AGS has a healthy number of members. Its all in the job title, really. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;AGS Board of Historians&#039;&#039;&#039; is responsible for maintaining this Wiki, so people know what happened yonks ago, or can at least find out what happened if they want to (who would though 🙄).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
d.a.barchipelago joined AGS on January 12th, 2019. He joined the [[Progressive Party]] immediately. He served as a Senator and MP, and was a founding member of the [[Labor Party]]. He is commonly known as Barch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political Beliefs==&lt;br /&gt;
D.a.barchipelago is a green Moderate Leftist, with large libertarian streaks. He controversially supported LOTRcare (public option) , but would prefer a national health service over it. He fights for democractic integrity, supports campaign funding caps, anti-gerrymandering measures and is a prominent critic of Electoral College, and has made many attempts to repeal it. If you ask him which issue is most important to him, he will always say protecting the planet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Jefferson Parliament==&lt;br /&gt;
Early on, barch joined the [[Progressive Party]] and the [[Justice Progressives]]. This allowed him, in a suprise upset, to beat [[Cool dad™]] in the Jefferson Parliament Progressive Primary, meaning he was top of the ticket. Due to low all round campaigning (not from barch though) he ended up being the only Progressive elected, making him automatically minority leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was elected successfully in the elections following the communist exodus, and for a third term in the following June elections. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following August he failed to win re-election to Parliament, which meant for the first time ever, there was no Labor or Progressive member in Parliament. However, the Anarchist .E won her election, and promptly permanently made Thanos her proxy, so while not an official member, there was &#039;technically&#039; a Laborite in parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully elected to Parliament in October, and for the first time was part of the majority caucus with [[Hombre]] and hopeful candidate. He was elected speaker, and oversaw a fruitful session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December he was elected to Parliament yet again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Federal Government==&lt;br /&gt;
He was nominated by [[ProgressiveMinded]] as his proxy in the house. This allowed him to gain some legislative experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following his proxying for ProgressiveMinded, he ran for JF-4 against [[Putbye]]. He narrowly lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the [[Second Communist Exodus]], d.a.barchipelago founded the [[Labor Party]] with [[Lohengramm]], [[Matthew Hale]], [[codegreen]] and [[MichiganLefty]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He then ran, simultaneously, for Senate and Parliament, and got elected to both. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was on the list for possible July Presidential election candidates, but discounted a presidential bid, and instead sought re-election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully re-elected to his Senate seat, even though all the polls predicted that [[Valerie]] would take it from him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He ran for Vice President in the November federals, and was successfully elected with [[MichiganLefty]] as President. As Vice President, he wasn&#039;t active much, nor was the administration in general. On January 18, 2020, he was sworn in by Chief Justice [[Lamport]] as President of the United States, the day following President MichiganLefty&#039;s historic resignation. President Barch made a few press releases and signed a few bills, along with one Executive Order withdrawing troops from Non-NATO nations, but he quickly fell inactive. A joint resolution was proposed by Representative [[John Boehner]], H.J.Res.19, to impeach Barch for inactiveness. It passed the [[House of Representatives]] on February 2, 2020, with 17 [[Representatives]] in favor, and 2 abstaining. He was convicted in the [[Senate]] with all six [[Senators]] voting to convict him, after a three day trial. This makes Barch the third President in history to be impeached and the first to be convicted on all charges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Parties==&lt;br /&gt;
When Barch first joined, he joined the Progressive Party. He was a member of the Justice Progressive movement, which meant he was elected to the PNEC. Upon the disbanding of the Progressives, he was a founding member of the Labor Party, and sat on the LNC for over seven months. He ran for party leadership in November, and became Party Chair, with [[Hale]] as his Vice Chair. He chose not to run for a second term in January, but remained a member. When the Labor Party disbanded, he became an independent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==After Impeachment==&lt;br /&gt;
After being impeached, Barch remained inactive for two months. After he came back, he decided not to re-enter politics, and instead ran the news organisation [[ABC]]. He also was the main driving force behind the lobbying reform, and became a lobbyist himself.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

d.a.barchipelago joined AGS on 12/1/19 (that&#039;s the date the right way, you American muppets, twelfth of Jan (he is an irl Brit)). He joined the [[Progressive Party]] immediately. He served as a Senator and MP, and was a founding member of the [[Labor party]]. He is commonly known as barch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political Beliefs==&lt;br /&gt;
D.a.barchipelago is a green Moderate Leftist, with large libertarian streaks. He controversially supported LOTRcare (public option) , but would prefer a national health service over it. He fights for democractic integrity, supports campaign funding caps, anti-gerrymandering measures and is a prominent critic of Electoral College, and has made many attempts to repeal it. If you ask him which issue is most important to him, he will always say protecting the planet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Jefferson Parliament==&lt;br /&gt;
Early on, barch joined the [[Progressive Party]] and the [[Justice Progressives]]. This allowed him, in a suprise upset, to beat [[Cool dad™]] in the Jefferson Parliament Progressive Primary, meaning he was top of the ticket. Due to low all round campaigning (not from barch though) he ended up being the only Progressive elected, making him automatically minority leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was elected successfully in the elections following the communist exodus, and for a third term in the following June elections. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following August he failed to win re-election to Parliament, which meant for the first time ever, there was no Labor or Progressive member in Parliament. However, the Anarchist .E won her election, and promptly permanently made Thanos her proxy, so while not an official member, there was &#039;technically&#039; a Laborite in parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully elected to Parliament in October, and for the first time was part of the majority caucus with [[Hombre]] and hopeful candidate. He was elected speaker, and oversaw a fruitful session.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In December he was elected to Parliament yet again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Federal Government==&lt;br /&gt;
He was nominated by [[ProgressiveMinded]] as his proxy in the house. This allowed him to gain some legislative experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following his proxying for ProgressiveMinded, he ran for JF-4 against [[Putbye]]. He narrowly lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the [[Second Communist Exodus]], d.a.barchipelago founded the [[Labor Party]] with [[Lohengramm]], [[Matthew Hale]] /NYD, [[codegreen]] and [[MichiganLefty]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He then ran, simultaneously, for Senate and Parliament, and got elected to both. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was on the list for possible July Presidential election candidates, but discounted a presidential bid, and instead sought re-election.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was successfully re-elected to his Senate seat, even though all the polls predicted that [[Valerie]] would take it from him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He ran for Vice President in the November federals, and was successfully elected with [[MichiganLefty]] as President.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Parties==&lt;br /&gt;
When Barch first joined, he joined the Progressive Party. He was a member of the Justice Progressive movement, which meant he was elected to the PNEC. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon the disbanding of the Progressives, he was a founding member of the Labor Party, and sat on the LNC for over seven months. He ran for party leadership in November.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
d.a.barchipelago joined AGS on 12/1/19 (that&#039;s the date the right way, you American muppets, twelfth of Jan (he is an irl Brit)). He joined the [[Progressive Party]] immediately. He served as a Senator and MP, and was a founding member of the [[Labor party]]. He is commonly known as barch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Political Beliefs==&lt;br /&gt;
D.a.barchipelago is a green Moderate Leftist. He controversially supported LOTRcare (public option) , but would prefer a national health service over it. He fights for democractic integrity, supports campaign funding caps, anti-gerrymandering measures and is a prominent critic of Electoral College, and has made many attempts to repeal it. If you ask him which issue is most important to him, he will always say protecting the planet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Jefferson Parliament==&lt;br /&gt;
Early on, barch joined the [[Progressive Party]] and the [[Justice Progressives]]. This allowed him, in a suprise upset, to beat [[Cool dad™]] in the Jefferson Parliament Progressive Primary, meaning he was top of the ticket. Due to low all round campaigning (not from barch though) he ended up being the only Progressive elected, making him automatically minority leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was elected successfully in the elections following the communist exodus, and for a third term in the following June elections. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was also nominated by [[ProgressiveMinded]] as his proxy in the house. This allowed him to gain some legislative experience. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following his proxying for ProgressiveMinded, he ran for JF-4 against [[Putbye]]. He narrowly lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following August he failed to win re-election to Parliament, which meant for the first time ever, there was no Labor or Progressive member in Parliament. However, the Anarchist .E won her election, and promptly permanently made Thanos her proxy, so while not an official member, there was &#039;technically&#039; a Laborite in parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Federal Government==&lt;br /&gt;
He was nominated by [[ProgressiveMinded]] as his proxy in the house. This allowed him to gain some legislative experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following his proxying for ProgressiveMinded, he ran for JF-4 against [[Putbye]]. He narrowly lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
