Signature

Charles Henry Andrew Wright, 2nd Baron Belgrave and Baron Huntingdon KT CH KBE OC AM (joined 11 February 2022) is a Scottish statesman, journalist, and political leader who served as both the 17th and 33rd Prime Minister of Great Britain. Wright’s political career includes multiple terms as Speaker of the House of Commons, serving during four different parliamentary sessions and holding the positions of the 22nd, 28th, and 42nd Speaker. He also held several key Cabinet roles, including three times as Chancellor of the Exchequer, once as Secretary of State in the Cabinet Office, and once as Secretary of State for the Home Office.

Primarily recognized as a parliamentarian, Wright was elected to the House of Commons six times, representing three constituencies, and also served as Lord of Parliament. Outside of politics, he pursued a distinguished career in journalism, serving multiple terms as Director-General of the British Broadcasting Corporation. Wright also had a military career, serving as Colonel of the Regiment in the Household Division.

Wright is widely known for his distributist socialist ideology, having been elected on behalf of both the British Workers' Party and the British Federation of Labour. He briefly served as Leader of the British Workers' Party in 2022 and was its Leader again from July 2024 until December 2024. Before aligning with the British Workers' Party, Wright founded and led the Commonwealth Non-Aligned Alliance, a platform for independents to collaborate, although he had already developed a distinct socialist outlook at that time. During his legislative career, he has (co)authored more than forty Acts of Parliament.

Currently, Wright is the Deputy Leader of the British Workers' Party and continues to serve as Third Clerk of the Green Cloth. In addition, he is also a trustee of the Heritage Preservation Institute and as well as an opinion writer at The Times.

Early Life

Shetland

Charles Wright was born on February 11, 2022, to Richard Wright, an English legislator, and Margaret Maniar, a talented writer of Ulster Scots ancestry. He was the middle of three sons, with an elder brother, Andrew Wright, 1st Viscount Islington and a younger brother, Patrick Maniar-Wright. He also has a half brother, son of Margaret Maniar, James Forsyte, 1st Duke of Warwick.

At the age of seven, Wright experienced the unexpected loss of his father. In search of solace, his mother moved the family to her ancestral home, Brough Lodge in Shetland, Scotland. The rural environment of Shetland provided a stark contrast to their previous life in London. It was here that Charles developed a strong affinity for the land and its people. Wright continues to live in Brough Lodge, although he spends most of his time in London.

Return to London

Wright initially had lost contact with his elder brother, Andrew Wright, 1st Viscount Islington, who remained in London when Wright and his mother moved to Shetland. However, they later reconnected when Charles followed Andrew Wright into the army, serving together in the Household Division. Charles eventually rose to the rank of Colonel of the Household Division and simultaneously served as a Lord of Parliament, while Andrew Wright transitioned earlier to parliamentary politics.

When Wright ran for the House of Commons for the first time, it was alongside his brother Andrew Wright who had joined the Commonwealth Non-Aligned Alliance, a political group founded by Charles. Later, both brothers went their seperate ways, when Charles became a member of the British Workers' Party, the party their father Richard Wright also represented. He joined his half brother James Forsyte, 1st Duke of Warwick amongst their ranks.

Wright also reconciled with his younger brother, Patrick Maniar-Wright, upon returning to London. Patrick served in the Royal Air Force (Constitution) Act 2023 and was active in poltics. Despite growing up separately - Patrick Maniar-Wright in Ireland, where their mother Margaret moved to be closer to her relatives, Charles in Scotland, and Andrew Wright in London, The brothers were eventually reunited in London.

Legislative Career

17th Session of Parliament

Founding of the Commonwealth Non-Aligned Alliance

Charles Wright applied for citizenship for the first time on the 12th of February 2022. His citizenship application was approved. He received his certificate of naturalization from Prince Victor, the Duke of York. One day later, Wright founded the Commonwealth Non-Aligned Alliance and he submitted his candidacy to represent the constituency of Exeter in the House of Commons but was forced to end his campaign as he did not meet the electoral requirements. Although Wright himself could not run for elected office, Andrew Wright, the 1st Viscount of Islington crossed the aisle, becoming the first member of the Commonwealth Non-Aligned Alliance represented in the House of Commons. Wright would serve as Chairman and would create the first charter and roster of the party.

Appointment to the House of Lords

In a unusual move, King William V appointed Charles Wright, only days after joining the Empire, to the House of Lords at the opening of the 17th Session of Parliament. He was granted the temporary peerage and was known as Baron Holland. He was appointed Senior Deputy Speaker by Elizabeth, Princess of Wales the same day. Despite his juniority, Wright received a grade of 9.3/10 in the early BBC performance polling. In the mid-term polling he received a grade of 8.9/10.

Legislative activity in the House of Lords

During the 17th Session of Parliament, Wright introduced the Household Division Act 2022, the Education Act 2022, the British Overseas Territories Act 2022, The Treasury Act 2022, The Citizenship Amendment Act 2022, the Parliament Act Amendment Act 2022, The Properties Act 2022 and the Government Formation Act Repeal Act 2022. All eight of his legislative proposals were enacted. He also introduced a resolution to appoint a WA Delegate and a amendment to the Standing Orders of the House of Lords. During his first session in Parliament he thereby established the Household Division and the British Overseas Territories, reintroduced the economy alongside co-author Ulrich Bauheim and legislated the education system and the housing market.

18th Session of Parliament

Elected Member of Parliament for Cambridge

On the 10 of April 2022 Wright announced his campaign to be elected Member of Parliament for the constituency of Cambridge on behalf of the Commonwealth Non-Aligned Alliance. His campaign slogan was ''Green suits me better than red'', referring to his ending tenure in the House of Lords. In the general election for the 18th Session of Parliament Wright received the fourth most voting points of all eight candidates. He outperformed the Party Leader and candidate for the office of Prime Minister of his party and secured a seat in the House of Commons for the first time. Charles Wright received a grade of 8.2/10 as Member of Parliament during the BBC mid-term polling of the 18th Session of Parliament, thereby receiving the highest grade of the session. He crossed the aisle and became a member of the British Workers' Party on June 8, 2022.

Coalition Negotiation

As Party Chairman, together with Party Leader Andrew Wright, 1st Viscount Islington negotiated a coalition with the majority party on behalf of the three elected members of the Commonwealth Non-Aligned Alliance.This was to ensure stability and bipartisanship during the term, even though the BWP had achieved a workable parliamentary majority. This show of goodwill between the Prime Minister-elect and the opposition allowed for the term to be seen as a stable and constructive time. The negotiations were ultimately successful as a coalition with the British Workers' Party was announced.

22nd Speaker of the House of Commons

At the start of the 18th Session of Parliament Wright was unanimously elected as Speaker of the House of Commons. He appointed Jeeve Sal Alohim as Chairman of Ways and Means.[1] As Speaker of the House of Commons he presided over the, at that time, third most active Session of Parliament.During the session the activity had risen from 284 messages in the 17th Session of Parliament to 450 messages in the 18th Session of Parliament.

Legislative activity in the 18th Session of Parliament

During the 18th Session of Parliament Wright proposed the World Assembly Council Act 2022, the May Budget Act 2022, the Treasury Act Amendment Act 2022, the Household Division Amendment Act 2022, the Monarchy Amendment Act 2022, the Elections Act Amendment Act 2022, the Parliament Amendment Act 2022 and a amendment to the Standing Orders. All of the Acts and amendments were enacted. The May Budget Act 2022 was the first budget to be proposed since the reestablishment of the economy and was co-written by the James Forsyte, 1st Duke of Warwick and Sirch Somerset, Marquess of Lorne. The Treasury Act Amendment Act 2022 served to speed up the procedure of enacting a budget through enabling Joint Sessions to scrutinize budgets instead of both Houses separate limiting parliamentary ping-pong. The Monarchy Amendment Act 2022 established minimum compositions for both the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Wright also asked questions during the Minister's Question time 8 times.

19th Session of Parliament

Re-elected Member of Parliament for Cambridge

Wright registered for the general elections for the 19th Session of Parliament on the 22nd of June, 2022. He stood for election in the constituency of Cambridge for the second time, this time on behalf of the British Workers' Party. Wright started his campaign titled ''Together with Charles'' the same day. In the general elections Charles received the most votes of all of the candidates, thereby receiving more votes than the Party Leader of his party for the second time.

Re-elected Speaker of the House of Commons

Wright was unanimously re-elected as Speaker of the House of Commons on the 27th of June 2022. He held his inaugural address the same day. In his inaugural address Wright announced measures to draw the attention of citizens to the House of Commons citing that there was no opposition elected to Parliament. Wright opened a post in the Stranger's Gallery and invites citizens to participate in it each time a debate was opened in the House of Commons. He appointed Albus Stuart-Windsor as Chairman of Ways and Means. Wright opened up a debate to allow for maiden speeches once more in which five Members of Parliament participated. On the 9th of June 2022, Wright issued a voting embargo, as the House of Commons had passed seven Acts of Parliament in the first one and a half week of the session, and three more Acts were being debated upon. He cited the lack of ability of the House of Lords to keep up with this pace. Three days later Charles became Acting Prime Minister after the resignation of former Prime Minister James Forsyte, 1st Duke of Warwick. He therefore vacated the office of Speaker of the House of Commons and as father of the house opened new speaker elections.

Legislative activity in the 19th Session of Parliament

During the 19th Session of Parliament Wright proposed the State-owned Enterprises Act 2022, the Estate Development Act 2022, the National Commerce Act 2022, the July Budget Act 2022 and the Sailor Inclusion Act 2022. All Acts were enacted. The State-owned Enterprises Act 2022 established guidelines for the creation of state-owned enterprises. The National Commerce Act 2022 introduced a national shop for the first time. The Estate Development Act 2022 created possibilities for the expansion of estates and to gain passive income through their development. It allowed estate owners to purchase acres of land and to construct buildings on their estates.

22th Session of Parliament

Elected Member of Parliament for Aberavon

Upon returning to the Empire after a period of absence, Charles Wright joined the British Federation of Labour as his former party, the BWP, had merged into it. He returned midway the 23th Session of Parliament and registered as a candidate in the Constituency of Aberavon after a by-election was proclaimed. Wright opposed August Carew-Grey of the British Royalist Party in the election and won the election.

28th Speaker of the House of Commons

For the third time in the 22nd Session of Parliament the office of Speaker of the House of Commons was vacant. The House of Commons unanimously elected Wright as the Speaker of the House of Commons thereby being elected as Speaker of the House of Commons for the third time. Wright therefore was both the 22nd and the 28th Speaker of the House of Commons. He inherited the Office as Speaker of the House of Commons while the House of Commons was poorly maintained and the House of Commons was in a inactive state because of the holiday period. Wright appointed Prince Miann, Duke of Edinburgh as Chairman of Ways and Means.

Legislative activity in the 22th Session of Parliament

Wright introduced three legislative proposals during the 22th Session of Parliament. He proposed the Judicial Separation Act 2022, The World Assembly Governance Act 2022, and the General Registrar Act 2022. The Judicial Separation Act 2022 was controversial at the time of introduction as it would result in the Lord Chief Justice having to resign from either the Office of Lord Chief Justice or the House of Lords. The Act resulted in the eligibility of members of the Supreme Court to hold offices in the House of Commons, the House of Lords and His Majesty's Government. The General Registrar Act 2022 aimed to regulate the establishment of a roleplay database. It was not enacted as Queen Elizabeth III refused to grant Royal Assent.

Joint Session on Judicial, Electoral and Economic Reform

At the end of the 22nd Session of Parliament Wright presided over a Joint Session of Parliament on Judicial, Electoral and Economic Reform. During the Joint Session Prime Minister Kathrine Grey, 1st Countess of Argyll proposed the Economic Reform Package Act. It existed of three separate Acts, the British Economy Act 2023, the Budgetary Act 2023 and the Business and Commerce Act 2023. Wright had co-written the British Economy Act 2023 and the Business and Commerce Act 2023 which received unanimous support. The session continued to debate Judicial Reform as Alistair S.R. Grey, 1st Baron Helmsdale proposed the Judiciary Act 2023. Wright subsequently proposed the Judicial Reform Amendments Act 2022 which was added to the package. This Judicial Reform package was adopted unanimously. Subsequently, Elio Somerset, 1st Viscount Salisbury introduced the Elections Act 2023 which was enacted unanimously, signaling the end of the fruitful Joint Session.

23th Session of Parliament

Re-elected Member of Parliament for Aberavon

Wright registered for the 23th Session of Parliament on January 27th, 2023. He was re-elected as Member of Parliament for the constituency of Aberavon on behalf of the British Federation of Labour. Within days after the general election, the British Federation of Labour fell apart. Following this event, Charles Wright resigned as Member of Parliament, citing that he did not consider his mandate as just given it was connected to his former party membership.

33rd Session of Parliament

Refounding of the British Workers' Party

Wright, a former Member of Parliament and Prime Minister on behalf of the British Workers' Party, refounded the party on June 28, 2024. Although he had been announced as one of the Lords of Parliament for the 33rd Session, Wright chose instead to run for the House of Commons, believing that his strong views on current political developments required his continued presence there rather than in the House of Lords. During the 32nd Session of Parliament, Wright strongly opposed the introduction of limitations and penalties for Members of Parliaments who changed their political affiliation. He challenged the ruling Unionist Party’s stance on the matter in the Stranger's Gallery, arguing for the freedom of MPs to realign their political positions without facing sanctions. Wright also filed a legal question, challenging Parliament's authority to impose penalties or restrictions on MPs switching their party affiliations. The Royal Court of Justice ultimately ruled in Wright's favor, delivering the following judgment:

[2.5] This leaves the Court with the legislation of political consequences. The Court has found through review of the arguments and through its own thinking that the answer is no. The current legislation scheme could chill political thought, which as petitioner points out, is contrary to the right to free speech or though enshrined in the Treaty of Union. This restriction does appear to restrict political thought, and enforce adherence to political party thought.

[2.6] The Court is also not convinced that chaos will reign in Parliament if this restriction were taken away.

03 || JUDGMENT

[3.0] Can the Parliament of Great Britain legislate penalties or consequences on citizens and therefore on Members of Parliament for changing their political affiliation? - is answered in the NEGATIVE.

[3.1] Does such a provision violate the right to liberty? - is answered in the POSITIVE.

Following the Royal Court of Justice's decision to deny the appeal, Wright questioned several Members of Parliament during the campaign season about their positions on amending the Representation of the People Act 2023. As many MPs expressed hesitation, Wright decided to run for the House of Commons himself, believing that the Commons should demonstrate its own capacity for reform rather than relying on judicial review. On June 18, 2024, Wright officially registered as a candidate for the 33rd Session of Parliament, running as Party Leader of the British Workers' Party for the constituency of Orkney and Shetland. Wright was elected in the July 2024 General Election. His election marked the return of the British Workers' Party to the House of Commons, following their absence since 21st Session of Parliament.

Formation of the British-Workers' Coalition

During the July 2024 General Election, Wright endorsed the Unionist Party during his campaign titled ''Prosperity for All: Access to Wealth, Land, and Means of Production''. When the results were announced, it became evident that the Unionist Party had secured 5 of the 11 seats in the House of Commons. On election night, Wright was seen dining with the Unionist Party's Prime Minister-designate, Josephine Carew-Grey, The Baroness Wilton. Shortly after their dinner, the Baroness Wilton announced a coalition agreement with the British Workers' Party. The agreement included the following statement of Wright:

The British Workers' Party was refounded to address the economic direction that has neglected the working class. Wealth inequality had reached extreme levels, but today we are proud to announce a coalition agreement with the Unionist Party, which has shown strong support for our mission to reduce wealth inequality. Together we will create more spending opportunities for the wealthy through the return of estate developments. This joint commitment stimulates economic activity and reduces wealth inequality as money will be drawn from the economy. This coalition, under the leadership of the Baroness Wilton, represents a significant step towards a more equitable society, and we are proud to be a part of it.

As part of the agreement, Wright would be appointed Secretary of State for the Home Office, while Sirch Somerset would become Secretary of State for Levelling Up. Additionally, Wright secured support for the revival of Estate Development.

Legislative activity in the 33rd Session of Parliament

On the first day of the 33rd Session of Parliament, Wright introduced the Restoration of Liberty Amendment Act 2024 after a vigorous campaign on the issue. This amendment lifted restrictions on switching political affiliations during a term and passed unanimously, despite the initial strong opposition Wright faced.

Wright also authored the Secular Governance Act 2024, which aimed to disestablish the Church of England as the state church and ensure secular governance. However, this proposal divided the House of Commons, resulting in four Members of Parliament abstaining, three voting against it, and only two voting in favor of disestablishment; as a result, the proposal failed.

Additionally, Wright drafted the Freedom of Political Affiliation Act 2024, which amended the Bill of Rights to include the freedom of political affiliation and was enacted. He proposed the BBC Charter Revision Act 2024 to guarantee provisions for an acting Director-General and authored the Standard Legislation Priority Resolution, ensuring that, under specific circumstances, standard legislation would take precedence over non-standard legislation, which was also enacted.

Wright's MP Inactivity Act 2024 passed the House of Commons but failed in the House of Lords. He introduced the Estate Development Act 2024 to revive Estate Development, however, it faced delays due to legislative ping-pong between the House of Commons and the House of Lords and was not enacted. Lastly, Wright introduced the HM Opposition Housing Act 2024, establishing the Norman Shaw Buildings as a separate board for HM's Most Loyal Opposition and designating the Norman Shaw North Building as the office space for MPs.

Wright notably authored and proposed two censure resolutions during the 33rd Session of Parliament. His resolution to censure Nicholas Burke following the Burke Affair passed with one vote against and three abstensions. Wright also proposed a resolution to expel the Member of Parliament for Belfast North because of his inactivity and to censure him in his capacity as Chief of the Air Staff because of inactivity. Following the submission of both resolutions the Member of Parliament for Belfast North resigned as Member of Parliament and as Chief of the Air Staff.

HM's Government

1st Sirch Sherwood-Somerset Premiership

Chancellor of the Exchequer

Charles Wright was appointed to a Cabinet position for the first time on the 27th of April 2022, when he was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer in the first Sirch Sherwood-Somerset Premiership. The appointment followed upon the conclusion of a coalition agreement between the Commonwealth Non-Aligned Alliance and the British Workers' Party. As Party Chairman of the Commonwealth Non-Aligned Alliance which formed the minority, Wright secured the positions of Chancellor of the Exchequer and Speaker of the House of Commons for himself, and the Foreign Office for party member Andrew Wright, 1st Viscount Islington. Additionally, Wright was elected Speaker of the House of Commons. Furthermore, Harsh Tripathi was appointed as HM's Special Advisor, a Cabinet position, and Jeeve Sal Alohim was appointed Deputy Home Secretary on behalf of the Commonwealth Non-Aligned Alliance.

Wright released an inaugural statement on the 27th of April, the same day he was appointed. In the statement Wright announced that he had appointed Ulrich Bauheim, with whom he co-authored the Treasury Act 2022 that reintroduced the economy, as Chief Secretary to the Treasury. In his statement, he proclaimed to strive for a economy that rewards and incentives activity, and in which there were plenty of spending options. As his first action as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Wright created a survey regarding the economy, in which he gathered the opinions of the citizenry with regard to the restoration of the economy.During his tenure as Chancellor of the Exchequer, he passed the Treasury Act 2022, and the June Budget 2022, thereby restoring the economy and passing its first budget. Following these developments, Wright hosted the first Economic Forum, to discuss spending opportunities with the citizenry. Here he introduced two ideas that carried the support of the forum, the first to sell a monthly limited edition shop item to be displayed on profiles, the second to establish a system to create opportunities to expand estates and to invest in passive income through the expansions. Towards the end of the term, Wright also introduced the Housing Act 2022 together with the Prime Minister Sirch Somerset, Marquess of Lorne, enabling estates to be created and the purchase of acres of land that would generate passive income. For his efforts as Chancellor of the Exchequer he was elected Citizen of the Month 2022. He was rated a 7.8/10 in the BBC's Mid-Term Polling, ranking as the highest members of Cabinet with the exception of the Prime Minister.

Reintroduction of the economy

Following the survey, Wright proposed the Treasury Act 2022 to the House of Commons once more, after it failed to receive Royal Assent when introduced during the 17th Session of Parliament, due to the timing. This time, the Treasury Act 2022 passed the House of Commons unanimously once more, however, it was amended by the House of Lords, as to ensure that responsibility over the enactment of the budget would be shared by both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, while Wright was the opinion that the budget should be exclusively debated and decided upon by the House of Commons. After the House of Commons agreed to the amendments the Treasury Act 2022 that reintroduced the economy was enacted. It was unique that the Treasury Act 2022 had passed the House of Commons four times before its enactment. Reintroducing the economy also required Wright to establish the first treasury administration and the creation of multiple forms.

First People's Budget

Once the Treasury Act 2022 was enacted, Wright released his first bi-weekly statement, in which he expressed that no matter was included in the budget that did not receive a majority support following the survey he organized. He stated that any matter that did receive support majority support was incorporated. Wright therefore famously named the first budget ''the People's budget.'' The budget was formally proposed on the 11th of May, 2022. Wright introduced a progressive income tax that was supported by 76.9% of the thirteen respondents, as well as a tax free allowance for poor citizens, which was supported by 53.8% of the respondents. The progressive income tax, together with a lower tax businesses, and fees for inactivity warnings, and business and residence applications, were to make up the revenue of His Majesty's Government. Furthermore, he introduced the ability to print money, as His Majesty's Treasury did not have any currency at the moment the economy was reintroduced. The expenditure existed of salaries for public officials, and three incentives, for event participation, stamp donations, and business registrations. The less wealthy would also receive a small social grant at the end of the month and those that received honours would receive an allowance. He also introduced a effort to earn money for citizens, through posting income, that was differentiated for each board. The House of Commons approved it with no votes against, after amending it to include earnings for thread creations as well. The House of Lords amended the budget, wishing to limit it's reach solely to the month of may, and proposing to introduce an application fee for the establishment of religious institutions. Furthermore, they desired consuls to receive earnings per foreign affairs update. Wright supported the amendments with exception of the amendment to limit the budgets duration to the month may as the amended version reached the House of Commons on the 23th of May. The House of Commons therefore amended the budget to include the month of June and to exclude the month of may. The June Budget Act 2022 unanimously passed the House of Lords on the 1st of June, 2022 and subsequently received Royal Assent.

Permit fees and the introduction of acreage

Wright and then Prime Minister Sirch Somerset, 2nd Duke of York together wrote the Housing Act 2022. While initially there were no plans to tie it to the economy other than establishing permit fees this changed throughout the session. After it passed the House of Commons in it's original state, the Duchess of Rothesay summoned Charles Wright to the House of Lords for questioning, after concerns were raised about the prices of the permit fees. Wright defended the cost of permit fees, stating that the tax free allowance was set at the the cost of business and estate fees. During the debate in the House of Lords, Lord St. John proposed that estate owners could buy acreage that would generate passive income. The Duchess of Rothesay supported this and drafted an amendment. The amended version of the Housing Act 2022 was sent to the House of Commons where Wright defended the changes and states his enthusiasm about the amendments. The Housing Act 2022 was passed on the 21st of June, 2022, the last day of the 18th Session of Parliament.

2nd James Somerset Premiership

First Secretary of State

Wright was appointed First Secretary of State and Chancellor of the Exchequer on the 29th of June, 2022, by Prime Minister James Forsyte, 1st Duke of Warwick. This followed the general election of June 2022 in which the British Workers' Party won a historical absolute majority of the House of Commons. Wright released his inaugural statement from 11 Downing Street on the 30th of June, 2022, expressing his intent to optimize the application forum for the Civil Service during his term and to maintain clear and public civil service records. As First Secretary of State, Wright was also listed as the first member of Cabinet in the Line of Succesion.[2] This would later lead to Wright becoming the 17th Prime Minister of Great Britain, following the resignation of James Forsyte, 1st Duke of Warwick on the 11th of July, 2022, due to personal reasons.

Chancellor of the Exchequer

With his re-appointment as Chancellor of the Exchequer on the 29th of June, 2022, Wright continued to serve in this role which he also fulfilled during the preceding Premiership. Wright introduced the Estate Development Act 2022 and the State-owned Enterprises Act 2022 during the first week since his re-appointment. Wright announced that his next goal would be to introduce the National Commerce Act to establish a national shop. He also announced minor changes which he would propose with regard to the budget and the Treasury Act following a review of the first payment cycle of the restored economy.[3] Subsequently Wright organized a second Economic Forum, a practice he established during his first term as Chancellor of the Exchequer, to discuss the renewal of the budget. The input received during the forum prompted the inclusion of a newcomer grant in the next budget. He proposed the National Commerce Act 2022 on the 2nd of July, 2022. All acts were eventually enacted.

Estate Development

On the 27th of June, Wright submitted the Estate Development Act 2022 to the floor of the House of Commons. This legislative proposal would add another property next, namely the estate, in addition to residences, businesses and religious institutions. During the debate, Wright mentioned that the goals of the estates would be to ensure exclusivity, to promote roleplay, to create government revenue, and most of all to set long-term goals for participants in the economy. The Act provided citizens with the ability to create estates, which were to be created on separate forum accounts, and which could be developed through the construction of buildings amongst which universities, castles and mills. It passed the House of Commons with a absolute majority on the 1st of July, 2022. In the House of Lords, both Lord Sandringham and Lord Kent commented on the extensive size of the Act, with the latter mentioning: ''I commend the bill's author for showing his usual zest for legislating a thousand fold in this bill. As Lord Sandringham stated, there is a lot going on here'' who subsequently summoned Wright to the House of Lords to answer questions. Wright faced questions from Lord Sandringham regarding the construction of Cathedrals, which he believed to not be within the jurisdiction of estate holders. At the same time, Lord Kent questioned the establishment of universities on estates outside of the framework of the Education Act 2022. Wright agreed with the Lord Sandringham and removed cathedrals from the possibility, furthermore he managed to navigate the concerns of Lord Kent. He then faced opposition from the Duchess of Rothesay who expressed her concern that the economy would not be ready for the weight that would be added to the newly restored economy. In response, Wright mentioned that HM's Treasury has proven itself capable over the last term, that it restored the economy, executed the responsibilities that came with that, and that it was time to create possibilities to use currency on. Wright notably stated: ''I want an economy that works and an economy in which the emphasis is on spending opportunities and not on saving'' when slimming down the bill was subject of debate. Wright received support from Lord Kent who expressed the sentiment that the region must be innovative and try out new things, knowing that if they don't work out, they can be repealed. This swayed the mind of the Duchess of Rothesay. In the end, the House of Lords amended a change of the name of the university to library and reduced the prices even further than the House of Commons did. The Estate Development Act 2022 passed with no votes against and subsequently passed the House of Commons unanimously before being enacted through Royal Assent. Following the Act, multiple Estates were created and developed.

National Shop

On the 2nd of July, Wright introduced the National Shop Act 2022 to the floor of the House of Commons. The Act sought to create a national market in which citizens could purchase images to be displayed at their mini-profile. Wright limited the ability to sell items to His Majesty's Government and limited the ability to sell a new image to once a month. There was no criticism in the House of Commons and the Act passed it unanimously on the 5th of July, 2022. However, the legislative proposal has never been debated in the House of Lords. On the 20th of June 2024 Wright filed a petition for a judicial review to force the House of Lords to debate the National Commerce Act 2022.

State-owned Enterprises

On the 28th of June, Wright proposed the State-owned Enterprises Act 2022 within the House of Commons. The Act sought to legislate and regulate the ability of HM's Government to create state-owned enterprises in accordance with the manifesto of the British Workers' Party. It passed the House of Commons unanimously on the 4th of July, 2022. Despite it being delivered to the House of Lords on the 4th of July, the House of Lords waited to debate the Act untill the 24th of August, 2022. With a new Government in place, excluding Charles Wright, the Lord Speaker Lord Belgrave summoned the newly appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer Albus Stuart-Windsor to ask if the new Government still supported the Act. Albus Stuart-Windsor answered in the affirmative. The Act passed the House of Lords on the 2nd of September 2022 with a minor amendment attached. The House of Commons passed it for the second time on the 5th of September, 2022, more than two months later than the date of it's first introduction. The first state-owned Enterprise, the Imperial Commerce and Construction Exchange, was created on the 21st of January 2024.

1st Huntingdon Premiership

Charles Wright was invested as the 17th Prime Minister of the Empire of Great Britain on the 10th of July, 2022, by His Majesty King William V. His appointment followed the resignation of the Earl of Northumberland due to personal reasons. Wright, who served as First Secretary of State, was the first in the Line of Succession, despite having left the British Workers' Party one day before the resignation of the Earl of Northumberland who invited him back to take over the party leadership of the British Workers' Party on the day of his resignation. Wright agreed and was elected Party Leader of the British Workers' Party the same day. Following his appointment as Prime Minister Wright, by force of law, resigned as First Secretary of State and as Speaker of the House of Commons. Wright inherited a absolute majority within the House of Commons which subsequently passed the Confidence in the Prime Minister resolution unanimously. As first act, Wright appointed the Baron Hastings, a former Prime Minister on behalf of the British Workers' Party, as his First Secretary of State, citing the need to have an experienced government official at his side. Wright announced that he had no intention to change the occupation of the remaining offices of the Cabinet. Wright remained on as Chancellor of the Exchequer

Domestic Affairs

During the Premiership, the Home Office released a renewed stamp scheme and it created a administration for it. The Home Office also created an interactive map for residences, businesses, estates and religious institutions. Furthermore, the Premiership saw the creation of new application forms for businesses, residences, estates and religious institutions. During the last week of the Premiership, the Census Act 2022 was also proposed to the floor of the House of Commons. Furthermore, the Home Office organized the Citizen of the Month election during Wright's term as Prime Minister. Home Secretary Albus Stuart-Windsor received a 8.8/10 approval rating in the BBC mid-term polling.

Cultural Affairs

During the Premiership the Culture Office organized biweekly events. The first event was a star wars event while the second event was a game in which people had to guess which real life person was mentioned through asking questions. The Culture Office also posted daily activities, posted weekly regional message board polls and each week appointed a region of the week on the regional messageboard. Furthermore, the Culture Office has prepared a quiz about the Empire of Great Britain and multiple spam games for a state visit, that was cancelled. Culture Secretary Joshua Sherwood received a 9.3/10 approval rating in the BBC mid-term polling.

Economic Affairs

During the Premiership, Wright himself remained on as Chancellor of the Exchequer. His Majesty's Treasury passed the July Budget 2022 and therein introduced multiple extra incentives to encourage participation during the summer slump. Incentives were created for participating in the world assembly, reaching the status of a territory, and for obtaining a degree from a educational institution. Wright also introduced the permit fees during this term and the sale of acreages of land, which created a new source of revenue for His Majesty's Government. During his Premiership the income inequality declined. Wright received a rating of 9.3/10 in BBC the mid-term polling.

Foreign Affairs

The Foreign Office was mostly engaged in talks with NSUK. Relations with NSUK were severely hurt as NSUK accused members of the Empire of Great Britain amongst which members of the Royal Family of poaching members from their region. Following the talks, Wright instructed Foreign Secretary Andrew Wright, 1st Viscount Islington to close the consulate with the NSUK. This was one of the most controversial decisions during the Premiership of Charles Wright.

On the 3rd of August, the Foreign Office faced another crisis, as evidence was submitted to the Foreign Office of the Minister of Home Affairs of India expressing thransphobic views in a hijacked regional server on the 30th of May. Wright was hesitant to address the region of India given that the views were expressed two months prior to the notice and in a hijacked server. Charles later engaged in a conversation with the Prime Minister of India and voiced his concerns. He agreed not to severe the ties with India as the Minister of Home Affairs of India would be reprimanded and suspended from office for two weeks. During the debate on how to handle the issue, Wright received support from Foreign Secretary Andrew Wright, 1st Viscount Islington, but faced opposition from Muhammed Mussa who accused him of transphobic behaviour. Wright was accused for not cutting ties with India while facing personal attacks. Including from Muhammed Mussa who stated: ''Just because you’re cis doesn’t mean our community isn’t effected by working with an open transphobe.'' During the debate, Wright expressed that he believed that the Home Secretary of India has the right to be against transfemales participating in female sports, and expressed some sympathie for the argument. This stance was heavily debated and Wright resigned citing the pressure following the incident on the 9th of August. Subsequently, Wright was banned for the events that transpired two days later, and the administrative team made the decision to cut ties with India.

A few days prior to the event, the Foreign Secretary received a 9.0/10 rating in the bbc mid-term polling.[4]

Legacy

Wright's legacy as Prime Minister is controversial. While he received a rating of 9.3/10 as Prime Minister in the BBC mid-term polling he resigned under pressure two days later. His Cabinet received a rating of 8/10 for it's activity during the summer slump, despite multiple vacations of Cabinet officials, including the Prime Minister himself, the First Secretary of State, the Secretary of Culture and the Foreign Secretary. His Cabinet also received a rating of 8.8/10 regarding decision making and a rating of 9/10 for its initiatives. However, there was no poll conducted after the resignation of Wright as Prime Minister, so it is unclear how his ratings were affected following the resignation on the 9th of August and the dramatic events regarding to the India crisis. It is fair to say though that Wright became a controversial figure after his resignation and subsequent banishment over the events.

1st Wilton Premiership

Secretary of State for the Home Office

Lady Wilton, the Prime Minister, and Lord Huntingdon, Secretary of State for the Home Office. Wright provided the numbers for the Prime Minister to form a government.

Following negotiations between Charles Wright, Baron Huntingdon, and Josephine Carew-Grey, Baroness Wilton, a coalition was formed, leading to Wright's appointment as Secretary of State for the Home Office on July 27, 2024. During his tenure, Wright focused on fostering engagement within the community through daily activities and questions on platforms like Discord and the Regional Message Board. While he did not author legislation directly, he proposed the British Nationality and Residency Act 2024 on behalf of the Government. Wright’s term is primarily noted for his efforts to maintain daily engagement and the pivotal role he played in forming the coalition, though it was marked by an absence of significant reforms. Wright resigned following Baroness Wilton’s departure, who resigned due to ill health. Despite stepping down, he continued to support the coalition, which remained intact.

National Government

Secretary of State in the Cabinet Office

After the August 2024 General Election, Charles Wright, Baron Huntingdon, was appointed Secretary of State in the Cabinet Office by Prime Minister Thomas Carew, Viscount Sidmouth. In this role, Wright served as a senior advisor to the Prime Minister and contributed to drafting several Orders-in-Council, authoring Orders 090, 091, 092, and 093.

Charles Wright, Secretary of State in the Cabinet Office, captured during his daily walk from 70 Whitehall to 10 Downing Street, carrying executive documents.

These Orders-in-Council introduced significant reforms, including the establishment of a Ministerial Code, regulations concerning government residences, and the reorganization of Government Departments and the Civil Service. One notable Order revoked all existing Executive Orders, deeming them obsolete as legislative instruments. Wright’s contributions were instrumental in shaping the administrative framework of the Government during his tenure.

1st Calder Premiership

Chancellor of the Exchequer

Charles Wright, as Party Leader of the British Workers' Party and coalition partner, entered the Cabinet as Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Calder Premiership. He was appointed to this role for the third time by Prime Minister August Carew-Grey. Wright played a key role in drafting the economic section of the Unionist Party manifesto and was tasked with executing it during the term.

Notably, Wright introduced the October Budget 2024 within the first week of the Calder Premiership and proposed several legislative initiatives aimed at increasing spending opportunities and revitalizing the economy. These included the Non-Standard Budget Act 2024, the National Commerce Act 2024, and the Estate Development Act 2024. However, all three bills failed to pass through the House of Lords. Following these defeats and citing frustrations with the conservative stance of the House of Lords and the Prime Minister's lack of engagement, Wright announced his resignation. Leaving the passage of the Budget early in the term as the sole notable achievement of his tenure.

Huntingdon Caretaker Premiership

Caretaker Prime Minister

Wright assumed the Premiership on November 9, 2024, following the resignation of August Carew-Grey, the Baron Calder & Wilton. He was invited by the Sovereign to form a Government, which would serve as a caretaker administration until the upcoming general election, just five days away. In testament to his close friendship with Sirch Somerset, 2nd Duke of York, Wright appointed him as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, where in that role, Somerset produced a series of reccomendations for the next government to complete in order to revitalise Imperial politics.

During his brief tenure, Wright hosted the November 2024 General Election Festival and organized the National Remembrance Day services. His administration also saw the establishment of the National Diploma Register, the creation of a diplomatic register in the Foreign Office, and the first Master Citizenship List Check in months within the Home Office. Additionally, Wright ensured that all Government Departments submitted transition reports to assist the incoming Government.

Wright's tenure was primarily focused on clearing the administrative backlog and laying a foundation for the next administration. Despite these efforts, he was not re-elected in the subsequent elections, becoming the first incumbent Prime Minister in modern history to lose his seat in the House of Commons. It was widely seen as a surprise win for the Unionist and Conservative parties, as polls had predicted a landslide victory for the BWP and Labour parties.

In his final moments at 10 Downing Street, His Majesty King Charles III, noting the mixed emotions Wright must have been feeling, expressed gratitude for his longterm service and conferred upon him the title of Knight of the Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle.

During his first tenure as Director-General of the British Broadcasting Corporation the BBC weekly published a weekly recap and a Westminster recap of which the latter was written and presented by Andrew Wright, 1st Viscount Islington. During this time the BBC also polled the mid-term satisfaction of the citizenry regarding the Parliament, His Majesty's Government and other public institutions. During Wright's time in office, the BBC scored a 8.8/10 in the mid-term polling of the 17th Session of Parliament and was therefore the highest ranking public institution. In the mid-term poll of the 18th Session of Parliament the BBC scored a 7.3/10. Wright resigned as Director-General on the 27th of June 2022 after serving in the role for four months in which he wrote 13 articles and conducted four additional polls.

Wright continued to write as an editor during the 19th, 22nd and 32nd Sessions of Parliament. He was re-appointed as Director-General on the 26th of June 2024 by the House of Lords, following the nomination of King Charles III.
