Paul Rosef

Paul Rosef was elected the Chancellor of Cantonia in the 2230 Cantonia Election. Rosef was able to paint Chancellor James Grovin as out of touch and inexperienced and as such, took a narrow victory in the polls on election day. Rosef lead the first minority government in two decades, partnering with the moderate party and making Marcus Kuturn the party's first deputy Chancellor. The moderates were a major pain for the National party and prevented them from cutting taxes, however, the moderates and Rosef lead major reforms in Defense and Foreign Policy, as well as in the Prison systems around the nation. Because of this, Rosef stayed fairly popular during his tenure.

Rosef lead the National party through a huge defeat to the moderates in the 2234 Cantonia Election but was able to keep his coalition alive for another term as Chancellor. Tensions between the two party remained extremely high as Rosef was well aware the moderates where trying to throw them out of power, and in fact, the moderates actively campaigned against Rosef even after the election. His second Chancellor term saw some movement on energy reform, though nothing came of it, and saw several powerful economic treaties signed. Rosef ended up leading the party through its breakup in 2237 as the last National Party leader.

Rosef was previously Leader of the Opposition after ousting Jack Pinder in 2227 and was a fierce opponent of both Wilson and Grovin's policies. Before that Rosef was shadow Minister of Energy and the Environment and was first elected to parliament in 2218.

Rosef was the nationalist nominee for President in the 2252 Presidential Election, but lost in a huge landslide to Maria Akison who won her third term.
