Edward Bernard is the current President of Wharf Springs
Biography
Bernard is a 4th generation Wharf Springian, and as such is part of what academics are now calling the "forgotten generation" of Wharf Springs citizens. First elected after a close campaign in §196 at the age of 30, he became Wharf Springs youngest ever President in its history, and the 8th President since the country's inauguration.
He grew up in a suburb of Formica Woodtops, the capital city, and came from a large family. He often claims to have witnessed the travesty that is Formica Woodtops' transportation system first hand, but those claims are much disputed by his autobiographers, who say he has never set foot on a bus in his life, preferring instead to use the Presidential Flying Umbrella to get to events. It is perhaps unsurprising that his talent for arriving at ceremonial events at the last second by descending from the sky and onto the Presidential Podium is gaining him the disparaging nickname "Mary Poppins".
Political Background
Bernard follows a long line of respected and revered individuals who have made it to the position of President without being affiliated to a party. He is the 5th Independent to be elected to the post, and the achievement becomes even more apparent when one considers the size of the population at the last election, and how difficult it is to mobilise campaigns without party apparatus and fundraising support.
