Brian Wilson

Brian Wilson is the leader of the New Democratic Party and Chancellor of Cantonia as of the 2214 Cantonia Election. While his first term as Chancellor resulted in many successful pieces of legislation, Wilson was bad with publically promoting his success and as such, lost the 2218 Cantonia Election. He stayed on as Leader of the Opposition for three years before his party forced him out for Steven Worn. Within nine months Wilson took out Worn, returned as Leader of the Opposition, and won the next general election with a 16 seat gain. He became Chancellor for a second term in 2222 after the 2222 Cantonia Election. He was the second Chancellor ever to be elected for two non-consecutive terms, after Jennifer Ryans.

Wilson lead the Electoral Reform push of 2225 and on July 7th, 2225 he signed into law the Electoral Reform Act of 2225. On top of three major economic acts, this was one of his top legislative achievements. He removed most money from politics and switched the Presidential elections back to popular vote. It also switched Parliament elections to a single transferable vote, which allowed for smaller parties. This lead to a huge surge in his popularity and allowed him to later reform the Veterans Affairs system of the nation, another boost for his favor-ability ratings.

In the 2226 Cantonia Election Wilson lead his party to a huge 20 seat gain for the largest majority in decades. On August 9th of 2227, Wilson announced his plans to retire sometime in 2228. He left and gave his seat to Minister of Finance James Grovin who went on to lose the 2230 Election as he was seen as too new to be Chancellor for any longer. He was a very unpopular replacement.

Wilson was the first and remains the only chancellor to ever retire on their own accord without losing an election or leadership race.
