d.a.barchipelago joined AGS on 12/1/19 (that'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.
Political Beliefs
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.
Jefferson Parliament
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.
He was elected successfully in the elections following the communist exodus, and for a third term in the following June elections.
He was also nominated by ProgressiveMinded as his proxy in the house. This allowed him to gain some legislative experience.
Following his proxying for ProgressiveMinded, he ran for JF-4 against Putbye. He narrowly lost.
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 'technically' a Laborite in parliament.
Federal Government
He was also nominated by ProgressiveMinded as his proxy in the house. This allowed him to gain some legislative experience.
Following his proxying for ProgressiveMinded, he ran for JF-4 against Putbye. He narrowly lost.
Following the Second Communist Exodus, d.a.barchipelago founded the Labor Party with Lohengramm, Matthew Hale /NYD, codegreen and MichiganLefty.
He then ran, simultaneously, for Senate and Parliament, and got elected to both.
He got elected to the LNC twice, and organises most LNC votes, as well as most party ballots.
He was on the list for possible July Presidential election candidates, but discounted a presidential bid, and instead sought re-election.
He was successfully re-elected to his Senate seat, even though all the polls predicted that Valerie would take it from him.
