Politics
Elizabeth de Burgh stated that she did originally not intend to get involved in politics like her father, but changed her mind in 3325, when she decided to join the Grand National Party "in opposition to the left-wing government". One year later, she was elected to the Parliament for her home town Gogledd Pwynt. In 3327, she succeeded Ken Mays as parliamentary group leader of the GNP. Since then, she was noted for fierce rhetoric battles with political opponents, particularly representatives of the centre-left PAC.

Political Positions
Elizabeth de Burgh is considered a far-right winger even within her party, having described herself as a "capitalist to the core". Her neoliberal ideas also became clear when she responded to the question how she would reform the public sector with the phrase "there shouldn't be a public sector at all".
