Riley Pinder is the Incumbent Prime Minister of Evonian as of the 2013 Evonian Federal Election. His government officially formed the Pinder Ministry on January 1st of 2013 shortly before his inauguration as Prime Minister.

Early Life
Riley Pinder was born March 19th, 1951 in Borshin, Orion. He was a large child, about 9 and a half pounds, and he was an only child as well. Riley grew up in Orion and eventually went to college at Orion University, earning a degree in political science. He later went back to college in Parnesia to earn a Law Degree at the prestigious, Parnesia Law school. Pinder worked on several local elections in his youth and was often involved in politics, school events, and did lots of different clubs.

Riley Pinder also had many jobs during his youth, as his family was quite poor. He often worked in grocery stores, warehouses, and even production factories, which is why he works so hard for poor young people now. Pinder talks little about his childhood, however, he studied often and got very good grades, which his parents often praised him for. Pinder enjoyed school, but hated working, and as such, decided to do something he'd love. Law/Politics.

Law Career
Pinder spent nine years working as a public lawyer before entering public life and was considered quite good at it. He won over thirty nine cases, losing only five, and became well known for working for his clients, not himself. However, due to his low fees and charges, he was often very poor during this time. Friends of his at the time still say he seemed very happy. He met his wife during his law profession and they got married shortly after.

Politics
Pinder, having worked on many campaigns during his youth, got back into campaigns in the 1970's and was very good at it. He was later a Chief of Staff to a campaign for parliament, which ultimately failed, but gave him lots of working experience. He credits a lot of his political abilities and work ethic to this loss, which taught him that not everything that's right is going to be easy in life.

Pinder kept working on campaigns until the early 1980's when the Liberal Democratic Party asked him to run for parliament. At first, he was hesitant, but after long thought, he signed on with much pleasure.

Member of Parliament
Riley Pinder was elected a Member of Parliament in the 1983 Evonian Federal Election and was sworn in that same year. As a member of parliament, Pinder worked primarily on healthcare, education, and raising taxes on the wealthy, all things he had intensively campaigned on. He was a very vocal back-bencher and was seen as a potential menace for the leadership at the time, but they later came to like Pinder.

Education Act of 1987

The act, which increased teacher salaries, decreased class sizes, provided teacher incentives, and added 80,000 teachers into public education, was very expensive and Pinder was accredited for coming up with the funding plan by introducing new taxes in the Budget Committee. Pinder talked on many talk-shows during the Education Act debate time on the floor of parliament and was a large part of why it won over so much support from the public. He also campaigned with Prime Minister Jack Jannon during the 1986 Evonian Federal Election, ensuring the nation knew all about their intent to fix the school systems and the future of Evonian and the world.

The act passed On August 14th, 1987, 284 - 222 with all others voting "Present". Pinder was given one of the ceremonial pens at the bill signing when the President (Who was reluctant) and the Prime Minister, signed the bill into law.
