Charles Hiag-Casala

Charles Hiag-Casala is one of the most controversial political characters in political history. Born into a rich family, he rose through the political rankings on two occasions, first making it to a spokesman in the Conservatives and then all the way to Prime Minister. His term was remarkable for the controversy it brought.

Charles was born September 5th 1937, on a rural mansion on the outskirts of Taris. He was brought up in a very rich family and went to a top Tarisian school, where his best subjects were Economics and Politics. He progressed on to Aquas College, where he gained an economics degree. In 1958, he entered into politics by becoming a candidate for Taris Brook East, and won it safely. He became the party spokesman for social affairs in 1961, and was beginning to rise in popularity. However, the war came, and he fled to the safety of a Natar mansion.

Post-war, he took the provisional seat of Taris Brook and re-won it proportionally in 1983. He started to rise again, becoming Junior Minister for Education in 1986, and taking the key role of Chancellor in 1992. His record was strong in this role and he became profilic enough to win the post-election leadership contest, with his tally of 4,798 votes out of 5,541 MPs in the first round leading his opponents to concede defeat.

His record quickly started to worsen however. The Conservatives were already in their fifth turn, and looking old and tired. The PM was constantly involved in financial and sexual scandal within his cabinet, and he was constantly hiring and firing ministers by the new millenium. His poll numbers continually dropped, and he was lead to postpone the election twice to its maximum constitutional date. The resulting election ripped his party apart. He started dismissing MPs he thought were plotting against him from every direction, and after the no-confidence vote in 2004 his party were down heavily to a distant second. He still refused to leave his role as leader, and eventually only stepped down on 3rd January 2005 after an ultimatum from over half his MPs stating they would leave the party if he did not resign.

He has now resigned and still features on the back benches, with his popularity recovering nationwide but dropping in his own constituency - he won a tiny majority in Taris Brook but held onto his position as a Conservative MP in 2005.
