Ronald Williams

Ronald Williams is the founder and current leader of the Democratic Alliance, a progressive political party in Rutania. He has held that position since June 3479.

Early life and career
Ronald Williams was born to John and Elizabeth Williams in January 3452. His father was a former government minister, and greatly influenced Ronald during his late teen years. Eventually, Ronald Williams registered as a member of the centre-right Moderate Democratic Party in 3470, to the surprise of his centre-left father. Internal struggles within the party however, lead to a split in 3477. The split became known as the New Democratic Faction, which was a loose association consisting of the former leftist factions of the Moderate Democratic Party. Mostly under William himself's leadership, the New Democrats re-organised and formed the Democratic Alliance, a political party, in 3479.

The Democratic Alliance
Williams was elected leader of the Alliance immediately after it was formed, and he participated in the process of shaping its structure and ideological foundations. He ran as the party's candidate in the 3480 presidential elections, but gained a disappointing 0.1 percent of the vote. He thus encouraged his supporters to vote for a socialist candidate in the second round, Ben Brennan of the Workers' Solidarity Movement.
