Philip Warden

Philip Archibald Warden, born 17th of june in 3830, Fort William, is a liberal politician in the Holy Luthori Empire, and the son to the famous politician and art dealer Johanna Warden.

Early life
Warden was brought up by his parents in Fort William, his father a brain surgeon and his mother a politician and art dealer. He went to private schools in Adlerberg, Utagia. The family is typical academical middle class, and he was the only child who went to better schools. His two younger sisters went to local schools. In Adlerberg he studied law and graduated in 3855. He started to work as a business lawyer in Fort William and engaged in his mothers party, the Liberal Alliance. He had been quite active in the Youth Party since he was 16.

Member of Parliament
In the 3859 election he was elected as a Member of Parliament and became soon very famous. Even if the party lost 30 mandates he was able to make it into parliament and he soon positioned himself in the party's left faction. After the election partyleader Denise Silverhielm announced her that she resigned immidiately, and the more right-wing oriented Carl Klingspor was elected very quickly. During the following two years in an unstable right-wing coalition cabinet Warden tried to create quite a few pragmatic parliamentary compromises with other parties, however he was soon silenced by the party's High Bureau.

Minister
After the 3861 election the centre-right coalition were back in cabinet and Warden was asked to become Minister of Trade and Industry. He was able to restore som free market reforms during his first period. During the whole 3860's he engaged into free trade and free market issues but met some resistance with the Trade Unions which had been legalized in 3860. The internel pressure, which from the beginning had been very easy on Klingspor heatened up in the late 3860's. The social liberal faction had getting bigger and more organized. When Klingspor realized that classical right-wing liberal politics was impossible to conduct he angaged Warden to formulate a more social liberal oriented agenda. Warden's reforms was widely censored and in the end, just a few changes were made by Klingspor and the High Bureau. Warden and the late partyleader Silverhielm soon fueled the internal opposition against the right liberal High Bureau and Klingspor knew that he had to deliver good results in the upcoming election of 3872.
