James Burlington

James Douglas Burlington, born in 20th of October in 3863 in Sandulka, Holy Luthori Empire, is a liberal politician for the Liberal Alliance.

Background
Born in a typical Adlerberg upper middle-class family, Burlington had the best opportunities to succeed in this world. His father a Professor in Medicine and his mother Professor in Physics he was brought by intellectuals to become an intellectual. Directly after Ground School he proceeded into the University, studying Medicine.

Politics and work
At his first job, at Adlerberg Hospital, he met his future wife Anna Hoffman, who worked as Pediatrician. They started to date and she took him to political gatherings in Adlerberg, where the Liberal Alliance had dominated the political climate for decades. He was inspired and started to campaign for a privatization of governmental owned Hospitals.

Member of Parliament
He made it in to the Imperial Diet at the 3901 election which meant he missed his idol Annica Cannings time as partyleader. And during Ewald Gripenstedts rule he was getting more and more popular among the crowds. However, after the very bad election in 3905, where the party downcrashed, he and newly appointed partyleader Gina Dirwany agreed on taking the party further right. He was appointed Group Leader, which meant a position as a Party Whip. During his time as Parliamentary Group Leader he instituted an Assistant Party Whip. But in 3911 a snap election almost annihilated the Party only recieving 8 seats in the Diet. The Business and the Adlerberg nobility came down like a ton of bricks and insisted on some sort of change.

Partyleader
During these desperate times, Dirwany and Burlington agreed on a switch on positions.
