William Havers

Early Life
William Havers was born on 30 December 2827 in Dalry, Lagard in Hutori to Samuel and Helen Havers.

Early Parliamentary Career
William Havers was elected to Parliament in the 2850 election, the third of Margaret Wright's terms. He entered into Cabinet under Norman Thompson in 2857 having been spied by many as a future star in the Party and in 2860 was appointed to the Party Leadership Committee.

Prime Minister (2862-2866)
Having fallen two seats short of an overall majority, Norman Thompson resigned as Prime Minister and party leader. In an unusual move, the entire Party Leadership Committee resigned also, arguing that the party needed a fresh start. William Havers was the only member of the Party Leadership Committee not to resign, and was elected as a continuity leader, whilst also marking a new break. Havers succeeded in forming a coalition government with the God's and King's Fighters. Havers was seen as being on the liberal wing of the party, and staked his political career on complete nuclear disarmament. Not only did this serve to divide the party, but it was rejected by parliament, and Havers was discredited.

Post-Leadership
In the 2866 election, the Conservative-Libertarian Party lost 72 seats and, after 5 parliamentary terms, lost its place as the largest party in Parliament. For the first time in 22 years, the CLP were no longer to be in government and so Havers resigned as party leader, widely discredited within his own party.

When Tom Major formed a coalition government with the Cabal of Entrenched Plutocrats and the House Lusk he was criticised and condemned by Duke Havers. He argued that the party was losing its soul, entering into coalition with its former enemy. Since that period, he has regularly been a vocal critic of successive CLP leaders and has widely been seen as a thorn in the side of the party.
