Nathan Huxley

Nathaniel (Nathan) Oliver Benjamin Huxley is a Hutorian politician from the Christian Democratic Alternative, a Christian Democratic party in Hutori.

Early life
Nathan Huxley was born on August 27, 2345 as the youngest child in a working class family of 8 (3 sons, 5 daughters). His parents were Terran Catholic immigrants from the rural north of Lagard. His parents settled in an industrial neighbourhood of Ihmetellä, which was populated by atheist labourers. As result he was often the victim of vicious pranks and bullies at school. At age twelve, when the families finances improved the Huxley family moved to a middle-class neighbourhood and he attended St Peter's High School in South Ihmetellä. At age nineteen Nathan Huxley enrolled at the Catholic University of Falristan to study law. After four years he graduates and embarked on a career at the Prosecutor's Office of Ihmetellä. In 2368 he became known to the public when he managed to get Peter Primm, guilty of twenty-two bank robberies (with several deaths) throughout the country, convicted to a 250-year prison term. This attracted the attention of David Hainsborough, leader of the nascent Christian Democratic Alternative.

Political career
Huxley was elected to His Most Royal and Serene Majesty's Parliament in the November 2368 elections and was promptly appointed vice-chairman of the CDA parliamentary fraction. The CDA became the largest party and formed a government. Huxley succeeded Hainsborough as Parliamentary leader, because Hainsborough became Prime Minister. The CDA lost the 2376 elections and Hainsborough stepped down as CDA leader and was succeeded by Huxley as party leader. He easily won the leadership contest later that year. He then successfully steered the CDA through the cabinet negotiations. The CDA remained in the government and Huxley was appointed by Prime Minister Philip Barnwood to the Justice Ministry. His term as Justice Minister was generally successfull. The violent crime rate dropped with 4 percent, but the amount of car thefts went up.
