Life
Marit Jensson was born in Llwybr Hawl in 3225, her father being a writer and her mother a local politician. After she graduated from High School in 3243, she moved to Iglesia Mayor to study Journalism and Psychology at the famous First Private Dranian University. To fund her studies, she worked as a journalist at the Dranian Herald, a conservative newspaper published throughout the nation. She soon became known for her political essays, which also revealed her libertarian ideology. In March 3243, she decided to join the newly-founded Grand National Party and gave up her job to run for a seat in Parliament in her home constituency. Parallel to that, she was appointed as Minister for Environment and Tourism in the Shadow Cabinet of GNP leader Larissa LeCoultre.

Political Views
On social issues, Marit Jensson is very liberal: She supports gay marriage and takes a pro-choice stance on abortion. On fiscal and economic issues, however, she is a typical conservative and espouses capitalist economic policies as well as massive tax cuts for corporations and people. In her own area, the ecology, she takes a very skeptical position. For example, she does not believe in Global Warming and Climate Change and considers this theory a "veritable hoax". She also opposes pollution standards or a cap-and-trade system for CO2-reduction and repeatedly called such measures "counterproductive" and "anti-business".
