'''His Excellency the Right Honourable Sir Steven Spell, OIM, GCVO, GCRI, KCMG, ID''' is the [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] of [[Ibagli]]. He was installed as Governor-General on 15 September 2006. He also served as the [[Speaker of the House of Commons]] of [[Ibagli]] from 1985 to 1994, the [[Minister of Health]] from 1977 to 1981, and the [[Minister of Justice]] from 1972 to 1976.

==Early Life==

He was born on 27 October 1938 in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. His family emigrated to Ibagli in 1946, taking up residence in Chesterford. He attended school at [[Exeter School|Exeter]] and [[Thistledowne University|Thistledowne]], where he obtained a degree in political science. From 1959 to 1963 he worked in the office of Prime Minister [[Joseph Kenilworth]].

==Member of Parliament==

In 1963, he was elected to the [[House of Commons]] as the [[Conservative Party|Conservative]] MP for the district of [[Colltik Bridge (Electoral District)|Colltik Bridge]] in [[Haphonia]]. At the time, he was the youngest person ever elected to the House. He was reelected to the same seat in 1967. In 1964 he introduced a private member's resolution that would have abolished the Senate. The government, though supportive of the resolution, refused to allow it to make it to the floor, for fear that the Senate would prevent government bills from being passed.

In 1970, after his discontent with Conservative Party policies in the areas of justice and aboriginal rights grew, he crossed the aisle to become a member of the [[Liberal Party]] and became the Shadow Minister of Justice. While holding this position, he became the chief supporter of the move to abolish [[Capital Punishment in Ibagli|capital punishment]]. After Spell crossed the aisle, many people in Ibagli felt that he should have resigned his seat and faced a by-election, as he was elected to be a member of the Conservative Party. The level of criticism lessened as the Conservative Party's policies grew into disfavour with the public. Spell was reelected to his seat in the House in the [[1972 General Election]], claiming over 60% of the vote.

==Cabinet Minister==

===Minister of Justice===

In [[1972 General Election|1972]], the Liberal Party was swept into power in a landslide, and Spell became the [[Minister of Justice]] and the [[Government House Leader]]. On his first day in office, he instituted a moratorium on capital punishment, and commuted the sentence of every person sentenced to death. Ibagli's laws against homosexuality were repealed in 1972. In 1973, capital punishment was banned in Ibagli.

In [[1976 General Election|1976]], the Conservative Party came to power after forming a coalition with the [[Social Credit Party]]. From 1976 until the collapse of the coalition in 1977, Spell served as Opposition House Leader and Shadow Minister of Justice. During the time between his terms as a Minister, [[Queen Elizabeth II]] and [[Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh|The Duke of Edinburgh]] visited Ibagli. Spell stated that his greatest sadness about the loss in the 1976 election came when he realized that he would not be able to act as a minister-in-attendance for the royal party.

===Minister of Health===

In [[1977 General Election|1977]], the Liberals were returned to office, and Spell was appointed to be the [[Minister of Health]] and the [[Government House Leader]]. He is most widely remembered for overseeing the creation of the [[National Health Agency]], Ibagli's universal healthcare system. He was forced to use a fire escape at his office to be able to make it to Parliament on the days the House debated the system, as there were typically picketing doctors forming a chain across the door, and police officers were reluctant to use force against medical professionals.

The Liberal Party lost the election held in [[1981 General Election|1981]]. Shortly after losing the election, Liberal leader [[Henry LeVeque]] announced his intention to resign. He appointed Spell, who many had felt was LeVeque's natural successor, to be the interim leader of the party until a leadership election could be held in 1982. Though Spell polled better in the public at large, many in the party felt that the party needed to be led by someone from outside of LeVeque's circle. During the campaign, rival [[John Forton]] was able to portray Spell as soft on the environment after Spell refused to support a plan to make it less economically viable to own an automobile. Forton was narrowly elected leader of the Liberal Party in the leadership election.

==Speaker==

In 1985, while reportedly considering a second bid for the leadership of the Liberal Party after the resignation of John Forton, he was elected by the House of Commons to be [[Speaker of the House of Commons|Speaker]]. He was the last Speaker to only be required to gain the support of a plurality of Members of the House. Indeed, he was elected by the smallest plurality ever - only 19 MPs. Upon his election to the Speakership, he changed his party designation to independent, emulating the tradition of Speakers of the British House of Commons.

Shortly after his election, Spell stopped leading the House in prayer at the beginning of each sitting. He stated that he did not feel comfortable praying to a God in which he did not believe. This action was lambasted by religious conservatives as the beginning of a 'slippery slope towards secularism.' The Conservative Party considered sponsoring a motion placing the prayers back on the paper, but Spell stated that if the prayers were placed back on the agenda, he would resign.

Spell was the first Speaker to interrupt a Prime Minister for speaking for too long during Question Period. In 1986, he ordered Prime Minister [[Charles Forrester|Forrester]] to wrap up one of his notoriously long answers after he talked for over Spell's 2 minute-limit. Forrester would eventually gain the skill of talking as fast as possible. The 2 minute rule was continued by successive Speakers. Though he was criticised by President of the [[Conservative Party]] [[Verna Weston]] for what she described as his 'vitriolic hatred of all things related to this government and all things Conservative', he applied the same rule to the [[Bradley Hunter|Hunter]] government.

In 1991, an arrest warrant was issued for [[Sean Garsden]], a Liberal MP after allegations of money laundering. Garsden fled to the Commons chamber, where he stayed for nearly two weeks, food and water being brought to him while the house was not sitting by fellow MPs. When the [[Haphonia]] Police department stormed [[Parliament of Ibagli|Parliament]] in order to apprehend Garsden, the House was sitting. When the police entered the chamber and ordered Garsden to appear, Spell ordered the officers to withdraw. After they refused, Spell quoted William Lenthall, the British Speaker who refused to allow King Charles I to apprehend members for treason, as follows: 'I have neither eyes to see nor tongue to speak in this place but as the House is pleased to direct me, whose servant I am here.' He went on to invoke the immunity from prosecution that MPs have that was guaranteed by the Governor-General on behalf of the [[Monarchy in Ibagli|Queen]]. One officer refused to leave the chamber, and Spell ordered the Serjeant-at-Arms to arrest him. The officer was found to be in contempt of Parliament by the house, and was ordered to be imprisoned for 3 hours, the total amount of time taken up in the House by the episode. Garsden later resigned from the House in order to spare it from further disruption. He was later found guilty of the crime for which the warrant was issued.

In 1993, he refused to admit the Usher of the Black Rod into the House when he arrived to summon the house to a royal assent ceremony during question period. He was eventually admitted after question time ended. Spell chastised [[Government House Leader]] [[Maria Hanson]] and [[Prime Minister of Ibagli|Prime Minister]] [[Bradley Hunter]] for scheduling the [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] to arrive during important business of the House. It was thought by some that Hunter had scheduled the Governor-General to arrive at that time in order to shorten question period during a time when he was facing significant rebellion from his own party.

He held the office of Speaker until [[1994 General Election|1994]], when he stepped down as Speaker and as a Member of Parliament. Shortly before the end of the 10th Parliament, the House changed its rules so that an MP would be required to gain the support of a majority of the House before being elected Speaker. He was offered an appointment to the [[Senate]] by both [[Bradley Hunter]] and [[John Goodwin]]. He refused both offers. He stated that he believed he would be unable to maintain the neutrality that he was expected to hold in most affairs. He was also heard to have expressed a statement of contempt about the Senate shortly thereafter.

==Monarchist League==

In 1991, Spell founded the [[Monarchist League of Ibagli]], an Ibaglian interest group dedicated to the preservation of the [[Monarchy in Ibagli]]. Spell led the group as its chairperson until his appointment as [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] in 2006, though he did not take in active role in its leadership while he was the Governor of Hapalnia.

==Governor of Hapalnia==

On 28 March 2004, Spell was appointed [[Governor of Hapalnia|Governor]] of [[Hapalnia]], so that he could aid Hapalnia during its transfer from the United Kingdom to Ibagli. He retired from the office in late 2005, and was succeeded by Sir [[Richard Whitecliffe]]. He was made a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George in April 2006 for his services in Hapalnia. After his term as Governor, Spell moved back to his home in [[Chesterford]]. He is a regular contributor to [[Ibaglian Broadcasting Company|IBC]] shows related to the Parliament of Ibagli, and was their feature analyst during the [[2006 General Election|2006 Election]] campaign.

In 2006, he was authorised by Royal Commission to exercise the office of Governor-General, along with [[Chief Justice of Ibagli|Chief Justice]] Sir [[Albert Wooster]] and puisne justice Sir [[Henry Good]]. He exercised this office at most [[Royal Assent]] ceremonies during his time as a Commissioner, where he became the most frequent representative of the [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]]. In April and May 2006, he acted as the Governor-General while Dame [[Annette Farquhar]] was in hospital and [[Chief Justice of Ibagli|Chief Justice]] Sir [[Albert Wooster]] was hearing cases. After the dismissal of Governor-General Dame Annette Farquhar, he again acted as Governor-General until Chief Justice Sir Albert Wooster was released from his imprisonment by [[Steven Lyall]]'s 'protectorate'.

==Governor-General==

On 1 September 2006, it was announced that [[Queen Elizabeth II]], the [[Monarchy in Ibagli|Queen of Ibagli]], acting on the advice of [[Prime Minister of Ibagli|Prime Minister]] [[Roger Pollack]], had appointed Spell to serve as the next [[Governor-General of Ibagli]], replacing Dame [[Annette Farquhar]], whose commission was revoked in July. He was installed on 15 September 2006 He undertook his first official foreign trip several days later on 19 September to attend the funeral of the King of Tonga. In early April 2007 he undertook a [[List of state visits|state visit]] to Canada, the United States of America, and Mexico. In May 2007 he attended the funeral of the Head of State of Samoa.

==Trivia==

*Spell is the eighth Governor-General of Ibagli to have been born outside of Ibagli.

'''The Right Honourable Sir Henry LeVeque, VC, KG, OIM, GCMG, GCVO, GCRI, DSO, ISO, MC, ID, AC, QC''' (1913 – 2006) was the [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] of [[Ibagli]] from 1987 to 1992 and the [[Prime Minister of Ibagli]] from 1972 to 1976 and from 1977 to 1981. He was the last living recipient of the Victoria Cross in Ibagli, and the first and only Ibaglian recipient of the Order of the Garter.

==Early Life==

Henry LeVeque was born on 18 July 1913 in Berkshire to William and Mary LeVeque. He was educated at Eton and Cambridge, where he studied law, and the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He joined the Grenadier Guards in 1935. In 1936 he married [[Harriet LeVeque|Harriet Milner]]. Also in 1936, he was present at the state funeral of King George V and the only Birthday parade of King Edward VIII, who would abdicate later that year to marry Wallis Simpson. He was also in the coronation procession of King George VI in 1937. He rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel during the second World War, where he saw action in France, Belgium, and Germany. He was awarded the Military Cross in 1940, and the Distinguished Service Order and the Victoria Cross in 1944. He left the army in 1945.

In 1946, he moved to Ibagli and set up a law firm in Exeter. In 1951, he was made a [[Queen's Counsel|King's Counsel]]. He was elected to the House of Commons in the 1955 election as a member of the [[Liberal Party]]. In 1968, he was elected leader of his party. In 1972, the Liberals won the general election, and LeVeque was appointed Prime Minister.

==First Term==

One of the first actions of LeVeque as Prime Minister was to repeal much of the social legislation put forth by the [[Joseph Kenilworth|Kenilworth]] administrations. The [[relocation program]] was one of the first programs repealed. Provisions were made for settling aboriginal land claims. In 1973 capital punishment was banned. In 1974, diplomatic relations with South Africa were ended in response to the South African government's policies of apartheid. He appointed [[Gregory Parks]], the [[Speaker of the House of Commons]], to be [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] in 1974.

In 1975, LeVeque suffered a mild stroke. He considered resigning, but was convinced by his cabinet to stay on as Prime Minister against the advice of his doctors.

==1976 Election==

In the 1976 general election, the [[Conservative Party]] won 29 of 30 seats, the Liberals 28, and the [[Social Credit Party]] won 3. The Conservative and Social Credit parties entered into a coalition that lasted until 1977. Rockington was criticised for his handling of the coalition, having failed to give the Social Credit Party a significant voice in cabinet, and refusing to allow bills related to Social Credit policy matters to come up for a vote. In 1977, the Social Credit Party pulled its support from the coalition, and Prime Minister Rockington advised the [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] to call an election.

==1977 Election==

In the 1977 General Election, the Liberals won 42 seats, the Conservatives 17, and the Social Credit Party won 1. LeVeque was reappointed Prime Minister shortly thereafter.

==Second Term==

In 1977, a [[House of Commons]] vote on the abolition of the [[Senate]] gained the required two-thirds support necessary for passage. The Senate refused to consider the resolution, and it was dropped by the government.

In 1978, faced with mounting debts, he cancelled the Haphonia Motorways Project, which was an ambitious Kenilworth-era plan to build several motorways across the city of [[Haphonia]], and was criticised by many in Haphonia who said it woulc cut the city into pieces.

In 1978, the Minister of Health introduced a bill that would create the [[Ibaglian Health Service]], a government funded agency that would provide free healthcare to all Ibaglians. Though initially controversial, the program proved to be a success.

In 1980, he appointed [[Annette Farquhar]], then the Chief Magistrate in Haphonia to the [[Crown Court]]. This was controversial as she was the husband of a cabinet minister, [[Ian Farquhar]]. In 1972, she was appointed to the position of Chief Magistrate in Haphonia by her stepfather, [[Joseph Kenilworth]]. Farquhar would later be appointed [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]]. He appointed [[Joshua Arnham]] to be Governor-General later in 1980.

In 1981, LeVeque announced a government policy that would have granted a free university-level education to every person in Ibagli. The policy was controversial, and the [[1981 General Election]] was seen as a referendum on the issue. The policy was eventually enacted by the [[Vincent McNeese|McNeese]] government in 2005.

==1981 Election==

In the 1981 General Election, the Liberal Party won 17 seats, the Conservative Party won 38, the Social Credit Party won 4, and one seat was won by an independent candidate. After resigning the office of Prime Minister, LeVeque announced his retirement from the leadership of the Liberal Party and from Parliament. He was offered a seat in the [[Senate]] by newly-appointed Prime Minister [[Charles Forrester]] but he refused the appointment, citing his belief that the Senate should be abolished.

==Governor-General==

After retiring from politics in 1981, LeVeque moved to Royal Arbour. He was well-known in his community for opening his door to the homeless on Christmas and serving them dinner, as well as for baking and serving cookies for the children of his community. In 1987, Prime Minister [[Charles Forrester]] asked him to accept the position of [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]]. LeVeque, an ardent monarchist, felt himself unworthy to represent the [[Monarchy in Ibagli|Sovereign]]. He also felt that someone who had been Prime Minister, a job which by its nature causes political division, should enter into a role requiring complete neutrality. After a week of deliberation, he decided to accept the position. He was remarkably popular as Governor-General. At Government House, he continued his Christmas day tradition.

In 1988, [[Queen Elizabeth II]] appointed him to be a Knight Companion of the Order of the Garter, the highest-ranking order of chivalry in the Commonwealth. He was the first, and as of 2006, only, Ibaglian citizen to be made a Knight of the Garter.

In 1989, LeVeque became the first Governor-General to have to use his reserve powers to appoint a Prime Minister after Charles Forrester's death. He appointed [[Thomas Harlington]] Prime Minister until the [[Conservative Party]] was able to elect a leader. A Haphonia newspaper criticised LeVeque for 'appointing whoever he thought would most likely lose the election so his old lackeys could be in power again.' They retracted their statement after it was revealed that Forrester had asked LeVeque to appoint Harlington Prime Minister should he die in office.

In 1990, [[Government House]] was bombed by members of the [[Ibagli Liberation Front|ILF]]. Though LeVeque was not injured, a staff member was killed by the explosion. LeVeque was reported to have continued to pay the family of the staff member his salary until his death. He also established a trust fund for the children of the staff member.

LeVeque retired from the office of Governor-General in 1992, citing his growing age and health concerns.

==Later Life==

After his term in Government House, he returned to his home Royal Arbour. From 1994 to 1999 he served as Chancellor of [[Thistledowne University]] in [[Loygre]]. In 2004, a panel at the university voted LeVeque 'The Greatest Ibaglian.' After the top 5 candidates were announced, the public were invited to give their views. LeVeque personally appeared before the panel to tell them the reasons why they should not vote for him, but rather [[Edward Brixton]], the man who brought independence to Ibagli. This expression of humility was seen as one of the reasons that the panel nearly unanimously voted for LeVeque. In March 2006, he was hospitalized for a respiratory condition. On 8 March 2006, it was announced from the LeVeque family that he was entering "into the final days of his life."

He died on 30 March 2006 at his home in Royal Arbour. He was given a [[state funeral]] in [[Haphonia]]. Approximately 96,000 people filed past his body as it lay in state on Parliament Hill. He was buried at [[The Citadel]] in [[Haphonia]].

==Personal Life==

LeVeque and his wife had three children and eight grandchildren. His eldest son, Richard, is the Mayor of [[Exeter]]. All three of his children have seen military service. His daughter Patricia was among the first women to be admitted into the [[Royal Ibaglian Navy]]. She served as a Liberal MP from 1985 until she lost her seat in 1999. His other daughter [[Emily Goodwin|Emily]] serves in the [[Royal Ibaglian Air Force]]. She married [[John Goodwin]], who would later become Prime Minister, in 1974.

===Religious Views===

LeVeque was a devout Anglican, though it rarely affected his politics. Many of his policies were strongly condemned by the church in Ibagli, including the lessening of laws restricting abortion, the repeal of sodomy laws, and the easing of divorce procedures.

'''The Right Honourable Dame Annette Farquhar, OIM, GCMG, GCVO, GCRI, DBE, ID, QC''' (1940–2007) was the [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] of [[Ibagli]] from March 2005 to July 2006.

==Early Life==

She was born to Elizabeth and Randall Caradine on June 7th, 1940 in Portsmouth, England. Randall was a Lieutenant Colonel in the British Army and had left for action in Norway and was killed in late May. Elizabeth remarried in May 1947 to [[Joseph Kenilworth]], a construction worker. Soon after their marriage, they moved to Ibagli, where an economic boom was taking place after the war, to escape the postwar austerity in Britain. They soon settled in Exeter, and Joseph took up a career in politics, soon becoming an MLA in the Ibaglian Legislative Assembly.

Annette was educated at Thistledowne in Hampton, Ibagli and Oxford University in England, where she studied law. During this time, Ibagli gained its independence from the United Kingdom, and Joseph ran a successful bid for leader of the Conservative Party. In the 1959 election, the Conservative Party, led by Joseph Kenilworth, won the majority in the new Ibaglian [[House of Commons]], and Joseph became the [[Prime Minister of Ibagli]], a post he would hold until 1972. Upon returning to Ibagli, Annette was admitted to the bar of Ibagli, and practiced maritime law in Ibagli and several British territories in the South Pacific. She was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1970.

In 1964, Annette announced her engagement to [[Ian Farquhar]], a [[Liberal Party|Liberal]] MP. Despite the controversy, she pressed on with the engagement, marrying on August 4th. Ian and Annette have three children.

==Judge==

In 1971, she was appointed Chief Magistrate of Haphonia by Prime Minister Kenilworth, a move which was criticized by the opposition and which many see as contributing to the Conservative Party's loss of the 1972 election. She held this position until 1980, when she was appointed to the Crown Court. She was appointed to the position of Chief Justice in 1993, a position that she held until 2005, when she was appointed Governor-General of Ibagli.

==Governor-General==

Farquhar was generally well-received as Governor-General, with many finding her to be warmer and more open than her predecessor, who was famous for his distance from the people. She was seriously injured in the [[ANZAC Day Bombing]], and was in a coma for nearly a month. Her commission was revoked on 6 July 2006 due to her involvement in the overthrow of the government that year.

===Travel===

In April 2005, Farquhar undertook a visit to Italy and the Holy See to attend the funeral of Pope John Paul II, and to the United Kingdom for the wedding of HRH the Prince of Wales and HRH the Duchess of Cornwall.

'''Field Marshal the Right Honourable Sir Erik Barnes, GCRI, DSO, MC, ID, MP''' (9 March 1947–) is the [[Minister of Finance]] in [[Ibagli]]. He served as [[Chief of the Defence Staff]] from 1993 to 1999.

==Early Life==

He was born on 9 March 1947 in [[New Windsor]] to Geoff Barnes, a bakery owner, and Linda Meeuwsen, a teacher at St. Joseph Catholic School. Both were immigrants to Ibagli.

==Military Service==

After leaving secondary school, Barnes attended the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. In 1969, he graduated from Sandhurst and became a commissioned officer in the Parachute Company, 2nd Batallion [[Royal Ibaglian Regiment]]. Upon his return, Ibaglian forces were sent to [[Palterma]] to quell a communist uprising that was occurring on the island.

Barnes was among the first soldiers to enter Palterma in late 1969. On his fifth jump over Palterma, he was captured in Palterma City and was held as a Prisoner of War for sixteen months. After Ibagli withdrew troops in 1972, he was returned to Ibagli, having earned the Distinguished Service Order and the Military Cross during his time in Palterma.

Barnes made his way through the ranks in the [[Ibaglian Army|Army]]. In 1989, he was appointed Chief of the General Staff, and was promoted to the rank of [[Military ranks|General]]. In 1993, he was appointed [[Chief of the Defence Staff]], and promoted to the rank of Field Marshal. He would serve in that role until 1999. He was appointed colonel of the [[Royal Ibaglian Regiment]] in 2000.

In early 2004, Barnes returned to Palterma to lead Ibaglian troops in a short peacekeeping mission after the collapse of the recently-elected democratic government.

==Political Career==

In late 2004, Barnes became angry with the recently-elected [[Liberal Party|Liberal]] minority government, and decided to run for a seat in the [[House of Commons]] in the district of [[Kensington-Royal Arbor-New Windsor]] as a member of the [[Conservative Party]]. He was successful in his bid for election. By mid-2005, Barnes had become a party whip and was responsible for the so-called 'three bar whip' that ordered Conservative MPs to vote against the creation of a [[Republicanism in Ibagli|republic]]. Fellow Conservative [[Marcus Smallegan]] voted for the creation of a Republic, and Smallegan was dismissed from the party shortly thereafter. Smallegan would eventually go on to form the [[New Conservative Party]].

===Election 2006===

In December 2005, [[Parliament of Ibagli|Parliament]] was dissolved as a result of the [[prorogation scandal]], and an [[2006 General Election|election]] was called for mid-January 2006, pitting the Conservative Party against the Liberals and New Conservatives. Barnes was highly visible during the campaign, and led the criticism against the '[[Cooky Tax]]' policy of the NCP. The Conservative Party tied the NCP for second place in the election, with each party winning 15 seats in the House.

Shortly after the election, the two parties created the [[Conservative Alliance]], with Smallegan being appointed [[Prime Minister of Ibagli|Prime Minister]]. Barnes was appointed [[Minister of Foreign Affairs]] shortly thereafter.

===Minister of Foreign Affairs===

Days after being sworn in as Minister of Foreign Affairs, he went to Liberia to lead a delegation to the inauguration of Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, the first female elected head of state in Africa.

Several weeks after his appointment, Barnes resigned his position as Minister of Foreign Affairs for unknown reasons. It was speculated in the press that Barnes often had severe disagreements with Smallegan and the New Conservative leadership. As a backbencher, he remained a prominent force in the Party and the Alliance. The Smallegan government fell on the Speech From the Throne in February 2006 and became the [[Loyal Opposition]]. The Conservative Alliance was dissolved on 4 May 2006.

===The Erik Barnes Program===

Barnes become the host of the first conservative radio talk show – [[The Erik Barnes Program]] – on the [[Ibaglian Broadcasting Company]]'s radio network IBC2 in 2004. The show has several affiliates in Ibagli and [[Hapalnia]].

==Saint-Denis Conflict==

On 29 April 2006, Barnes was appointed by [[Minister of Defence]] [[Steven Lyall]] to command Ibaglian forces in [[Operation Swordfish]], a military operation to eradicate the [[Ibagli Liberation Front]] from the island of [[Saint-Denis]]. The ILF had recently perpetrated the [[ANZAC Day Bombing]] in [[Haphonia]] on 25 April 2006. The operation caused a rift within the [[Roger Pollack|Pollack]] government, with [[Minister of Finance]] [[Péricles Maranhão Neto]] refusing to allow finances to go to the Ministry of Defence until they agreed to end the conflict. Ibaglian forces began their withdrawal on 13 May 2006.

==Political Beliefs==

*'''Political Ideology:''' Barnes describes himself as a fiscal conservative and a social moderate.

*'''Business:''' Barnes has always been known for his belief in the goodness of both large corporations and small businesses and has supported and introduced many bills in Parliament giving relief to both. Most have been rejected by the House.

*'''Gun Ownership:''' Barnes believes in a person's right to own a gun and has introduced legislation making gun ownership legal. However, Barnes supports the outlawing of certain types of firearms.

*'''Same-Sex Marriage:''' Although known as being against same-sex marriage, Barnes opposes any legislation that defines marriage being between a man and a woman. Barnes believes that 'no government has the right to say what is love and what is not.'

*'''Abortion:''' Barnes is against abortion but like same-sex marriage, Barnes believes that the government should not get into one's personal life. Instead, he believes the government 'should work on preventing abortion.'

*'''The Senate:''' Barnes strongly opposes the [[Senate]] and has introduced legislation that would abolish the Senate. The legislation was rejected.

*'''Military:''' Being a career military officer, Barnes supports all legislation for the advancement of the [[Ibaglian Armed Forces|military of Ibagli]].

*'''Economic Policies:''' Barnes believes that under the Liberal government, Ibagli's economy has taken a downturn and believes that the Liberal Party does not seem to care anymore. Barnes has proposed tax cuts and tax incentives for companies that keep jobs in Ibagli.

*'''Welfare:''' Barnes strongly opposes welfare because he believes "it's being abused". Barnes also strongly opposes socialized healthcare which was enacted by then-[[Minister of Health|Health Minister]] [[Steven Spell]], and is in favor of a personal or an employer based system of insurance, supplemented by Medicare for the elderly and Medicaid for the poor.

*'''Affirmative Action:''' Barnes very strongly opposes affirmative action.

==Quotes==
*'I need to get a more precise definition.'
:''Barnes asking [[Green Party]] MP [[Steven Lyall]] to define civil rights after he said same-sex marriage was a civil rights issue in 2004.''

*'In Ibagli, anyone can run and be elected to Parliament. Thats just one of the risks we have to take'
:''Barnes' acceptance speech in 2006 after being reelected to Parliament.''

*'We're the party that wants to see an Ibagli where people can still get rich.'
:''Barnes at the 2006 Conservative Conference.''

*'How is your mother these days?'
:''Barnes responding to a caller on his radio show "The Erik Barnes Program" after the caller told Barnes that 'This is not a Liberal or Conservative issue but you have sold your soul to the devil! I respect a crack addict mother of five more than you!'''

*'The Green Party is like the "Village Slut" of political parties; always in bed with other parties. It's disgusting'
:''Barnes speaking on his radio show about the coalition of the Green Party and the Liberal Party to form a government.''

'''The Right Honourable Sir John Goodwin, GCRI, MP''' (b. 30 January 1940) is the [[Prime Minister of Ibagli|Prime Minister]] of [[Ibagli]]. He was appointed to his current term on 18 November 2006 by [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] Sir [[Steven Spell]]. He also served as the [[Prime Minister of Ibagli|Prime Minister]] of [[Ibagli]] from 1994 to 2004, the [[Minister of Foreign Affairs]] from 1985 to 1989, the [[Government House Leader]] from May to November 1989, and the [[Minister of Defence]] from January to February 2006. He is the leader of the [[Conservative Party]].

==Early Life==

He was born on 30 January 1940 in London. His family moved to Ibagli in 1947, taking up residence in Crofton. He attended [[Exeter School|Exeter]], [[Thistledowne University|Thistledowne]], and Cambridge, receiving a doctorate in economics. From 1974 to 1976 he was a professor at Thistledowne.

He married [[Emily Goodwin|Emily LeVeque]], the daughter of Liberal Prime Minister [[Henry LeVeque]] in 1981.

==Member of Parliament==

He was first elected to the [[House of Commons]] in the the [[1976 General Election|1976 Election]]. He lost his seat in the [[1977 General Election|1977 Election]], but returned to the house in 1978 in a by-election.

==Cabinet Minister==

In 1985, he was chosen to be [[Minister of Foreign Affairs]] in the government of [[Charles Forrester]]. After the death of Forrester in 1989, he was appointed to the additional position of [[Government House Leader]] in the short-lived government of [[Thomas Harlington]].

==Conservative Leadership==

In the [[1989 General Election|1989 Election]], Harlington lost his seat in the House, and resigned as the leader of the Conservative Party. Goodwin was appointed to be the interim leader of the party. Goodwin was elected leader of the party in the first round of the 1990 leadership election.

==Prime Minister==

The Conservative Party won the [[1994 General Election|1994 Election]], and Goodwin was appointed Prime Minister.

In the [[1999 General Election|1999 Election]], the party won the highest number of seats in the House of Commons since 1963.

In 2003, he introduced a bill that prevented the [[High Court of Appeals]] from hearing cases related to the constitutionality of laws prevent same-sex marriage. As the Court was a part of Parliament, it could be instructed by Parliament as to which cases it was permitted to hear. The bill was successful, but was overturned by the [[Vincent McNeese|McNeese]] administration in 2004.

From January to February 2006 he served as [[Minister of Defence]] in [[Marcus Smallegan]]'s short-lived administration.

==Return to Power==

On 27 May 2006, he announced that he would challenge the leadership of Roser, blaming Roser for the breakup of the party and the subsequent poor showing in the [[January 2006 General Election]]. His campaign was successful.

In the [[November 2006 General Election]], the Conservatives won a majority in the House of Commons. Two days later, he was appointed Prime Minister.

'''His Excellency the Right Honourable Sir Steven Spell, OIM, GCVO, GCRI, KCMG, ID''' is the [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] of [[Ibagli]]. He was installed as Governor-General on 15 September 2006. He also served as the [[Speaker of the House of Commons]] of [[Ibagli]] from 1985 to 1994, the [[Minister of Health]] from 1977 to 1981, and the [[Minister of Justice]] from 1972 to 1976.

==Early Life==

He was born on 27 October 1938 in Oakville, Ontario, Canada. His family emigrated to Ibagli in 1946, taking up residence in Chesterford. He attended school at [[Exeter School|Exeter]] and [[Thistledowne University|Thistledowne]], where he obtained a degree in political science. From 1959 to 1963 he worked in the office of Prime Minister [[Joseph Kenilworth]].

==Member of Parliament==

In 1963, he was elected to the [[House of Commons]] as the [[Conservative Party|Conservative]] MP for the district of [[Colltik Bridge (Electoral District)|Colltik Bridge]] in [[Haphonia]]. At the time, he was the youngest person ever elected to the House. He was reelected to the same seat in 1967. In 1964 he introduced a private member's resolution that would have abolished the Senate. The government, though supportive of the resolution, refused to allow it to make it to the floor, for fear that the Senate would prevent government bills from being passed.

In 1970, after his discontent with Conservative Party policies in the areas of justice and aboriginal rights grew, he crossed the aisle to become a member of the [[Liberal Party]] and became the Shadow Minister of Justice. While holding this position, he became the chief supporter of the move to abolish [[Capital Punishment in Ibagli|capital punishment]]. After Spell crossed the aisle, many people in Ibagli felt that he should have resigned his seat and faced a by-election, as he was elected to be a member of the Conservative Party. The level of criticism lessened as the Conservative Party's policies grew into disfavour with the public. Spell was reelected to his seat in the House in the [[1972 General Election]], claiming over 60% of the vote.

==Cabinet Minister==

===Minister of Justice===

In [[1972 General Election|1972]], the Liberal Party was swept into power in a landslide, and Spell became the [[Minister of Justice]] and the [[Government House Leader]]. On his first day in office, he instituted a moratorium on capital punishment, and commuted the sentence of every person sentenced to death. Ibagli's laws against homosexuality were repealed in 1972. In 1973, capital punishment was banned in Ibagli.

In [[1976 General Election|1976]], the Conservative Party came to power after forming a coalition with the [[Social Credit Party]]. From 1976 until the collapse of the coalition in 1977, Spell served as Opposition House Leader and Shadow Minister of Justice. During the time between his terms as a Minister, [[Queen Elizabeth II]] and [[Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh|The Duke of Edinburgh]] visited Ibagli. Spell stated that his greatest sadness about the loss in the 1976 election came when he realized that he would not be able to act as a minister-in-attendance for the royal party.

===Minister of Health===

In [[1977 General Election|1977]], the Liberals were returned to office, and Spell was appointed to be the [[Minister of Health]] and the [[Government House Leader]]. He is most widely remembered for overseeing the creation of the [[National Health Agency]], Ibagli's universal healthcare system. He was forced to use a fire escape at his office to be able to make it to Parliament on the days the House debated the system, as there were typically picketing doctors forming a chain across the door, and police officers were reluctant to use force against medical professionals.

The Liberal Party lost the election held in [[1981 General Election|1981]]. Shortly after losing the election, Liberal leader [[Henry LeVeque]] announced his intention to resign. He appointed Spell, who many had felt was LeVeque's natural successor, to be the interim leader of the party until a leadership election could be held in 1982. Though Spell polled better in the public at large, many in the party felt that the party needed to be led by someone from outside of LeVeque's circle. During the campaign, rival [[John Forton]] was able to portray Spell as soft on the environment after Spell refused to support a plan to make it less economically viable to own an automobile. Forton was narrowly elected leader of the Liberal Party in the leadership election.

==Speaker==

In 1985, while reportedly considering a second bid for the leadership of the Liberal Party after the resignation of John Forton, he was elected by the House of Commons to be [[Speaker of the House of Commons|Speaker]]. He was the last Speaker to only be required to gain the support of a plurality of Members of the House. Indeed, he was elected by the smallest plurality ever - only 19 MPs. Upon his election to the Speakership, he changed his party designation to independent, emulating the tradition of Speakers of the British House of Commons.

Shortly after his election, Spell stopped leading the House in prayer at the beginning of each sitting. He stated that he did not feel comfortable praying to a God in which he did not believe. This action was lambasted by religious conservatives as the beginning of a 'slippery slope towards secularism.' The Conservative Party considered sponsoring a motion placing the prayers back on the paper, but Spell stated that if the prayers were placed back on the agenda, he would resign.

Spell was the first Speaker to interrupt a Prime Minister for speaking for too long during Question Period. In 1986, he ordered Prime Minister [[Charles Forrester|Forrester]] to wrap up one of his notoriously long answers after he talked for over Spell's 2 minute-limit. Forrester would eventually gain the skill of talking as fast as possible. The 2 minute rule was continued by successive Speakers. Though he was criticised by President of the [[Conservative Party]] [[Verna Weston]] for what she described as his 'vitriolic hatred of all things related to this government and all things Conservative', he applied the same rule to the [[Bradley Hunter|Hunter]] government.

In 1991, an arrest warrant was issued for [[Sean Garsden]], a Liberal MP after allegations of money laundering. Garsden fled to the Commons chamber, where he stayed for nearly two weeks, food and water being brought to him while the house was not sitting by fellow MPs. When the [[Haphonia]] Police department stormed [[Parliament of Ibagli|Parliament]] in order to apprehend Garsden, the House was sitting. When the police entered the chamber and ordered Garsden to appear, Spell ordered the officers to withdraw. After they refused, Spell quoted William Lenthall, the British Speaker who refused to allow King Charles I to apprehend members for treason, as follows: 'I have neither eyes to see nor tongue to speak in this place but as the House is pleased to direct me, whose servant I am here.' He went on to invoke the immunity from prosecution that MPs have that was guaranteed by the Governor-General on behalf of the [[Monarchy in Ibagli|Queen]]. One officer refused to leave the chamber, and Spell ordered the Serjeant-at-Arms to arrest him. The officer was found to be in contempt of Parliament by the house, and was ordered to be imprisoned for 3 hours, the total amount of time taken up in the House by the episode. Garsden later resigned from the House in order to spare it from further disruption. He was later found guilty of the crime for which the warrant was issued.

In 1993, he refused to admit the Usher of the Black Rod into the House when he arrived to summon the house to a royal assent ceremony during question period. He was eventually admitted after question time ended. Spell chastised [[Government House Leader]] [[Maria Hanson]] and [[Prime Minister of Ibagli|Prime Minister]] [[Bradley Hunter]] for scheduling the [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] to arrive during important business of the House. It was thought by some that Hunter had scheduled the Governor-General to arrive at that time in order to shorten question period during a time when he was facing significant rebellion from his own party.

He held the office of Speaker until [[1994 General Election|1994]], when he stepped down as Speaker and as a Member of Parliament. Shortly before the end of the 10th Parliament, the House changed its rules so that an MP would be required to gain the support of a majority of the House before being elected Speaker. He was offered an appointment to the [[Senate]] by both [[Bradley Hunter]] and [[John Goodwin]]. He refused both offers. He stated that he believed he would be unable to maintain the neutrality that he was expected to hold in most affairs. He was also heard to have expressed a statement of contempt about the Senate shortly thereafter.

==Monarchist League==

In 1991, Spell founded the [[Monarchist League of Ibagli]], an Ibaglian interest group dedicated to the preservation of the [[Monarchy in Ibagli]]. Spell led the group as its chairperson until his appointment as [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] in 2006, though he did not take in active role in its leadership while he was the Governor of Hapalnia.

==Governor of Hapalnia==

On 28 March 2004, Spell was appointed [[Governor of Hapalnia|Governor]] of [[Hapalnia]], so that he could aid Hapalnia during its transfer from the United Kingdom to Ibagli. He retired from the office in late 2005, and was succeeded by Sir [[Richard Whitecliffe]]. He was made a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George in April 2006 for his services in Hapalnia. After his term as Governor, Spell moved back to his home in [[Chesterford]]. He is a regular contributor to [[Ibaglian Broadcasting Company|IBC]] shows related to the Parliament of Ibagli, and was their feature analyst during the [[2006 General Election|2006 Election]] campaign.

In 2006, he was authorised by Royal Commission to exercise the office of Governor-General, along with [[Chief Justice of Ibagli|Chief Justice]] Sir [[Albert Wooster]] and puisne justice Sir [[Henry Good]]. He exercised this office at most [[Royal Assent]] ceremonies during his time as a Commissioner, where he became the most frequent representative of the [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]]. In April and May 2006, he acted as the Governor-General while Dame [[Annette Farquhar]] was in hospital and [[Chief Justice of Ibagli|Chief Justice]] Sir [[Albert Wooster]] was hearing cases. After the dismissal of Governor-General Dame Annette Farquhar, he again acted as Governor-General until Chief Justice Sir Albert Wooster was released from his imprisonment by [[Steven Lyall]]'s 'protectorate'.

==Governor-General==

On 1 September 2006, it was announced that [[Queen Elizabeth II]], the [[Monarchy in Ibagli|Queen of Ibagli]], acting on the advice of [[Prime Minister of Ibagli|Prime Minister]] [[Roger Pollack]], had appointed Spell to serve as the next [[Governor-General of Ibagli]], replacing Dame [[Annette Farquhar]], whose commission was revoked in July. He was installed on 15 September 2006 He undertook his first official foreign trip several days later on 19 September to attend the funeral of the King of Tonga. In early April 2007 he undertook a [[List of state visits|state visit]] to Canada, the United States of America, and Mexico. In May 2007 he attended the funeral of the Head of State of Samoa.

Royal Ibaglian Order

2007-07-06T18:06:14Z

Honours:

[[Image:Companion insignia.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Insignia of a Companion of the Royal Ibaglian Order]]

The '''Royal Ibaglian Order''' is an [[Ibagli|Ibaglian]] order of chivalry instituted in 1986 by [[Queen Elizabeth II]]. The Order includes five classes in civil and military divisions, in order of seniority:

* Knight or Dame Grand Companion (GCRI)
* Knight or Dame Companion (K/DCRI)
* Companion (CRI)
* Officer (ORI)
* Member (MRI)

==History==

When it was instituted in 1986, it was meant to eventually replace the Order of the Bath, the Order of St Michael and St George, and the Order of the British Empire in Ibagli. They have not, however, ceased to be awarded yet.

==Composition==

The [[Monarchy in Ibagli|Monarch]] is the Sovereign of the Order and appoints all members of the order (by convention, on the advice of the Government). The Chancellor and Principal Dame Grand Companion of the Order is the [[Governor-General of Ibagli]].

The order is limited to 40 Knights and Dames Grand Companion, 100 Knights and Dames Companion, and 225 Companions. There is no limit on the number of members of the fourth and fifth classes. Appointments are made on the advice of the Government of Ibagli. Foreigners can be admitted to the order as honorary members. Honorary members do not count in the limits of the order. Visiting heads of state are traditionally made honorary Knights Grand Companion of the order.

'''The Right Honourable Sir Henry LeVeque, VC, KG, OIM, GCMG, GCVO, GCRI, DSO, ISO, MC, ID, AC, QC''' (1913 – 2006) was the [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] of [[Ibagli]] from 1987 to 1992 and the [[Prime Minister of Ibagli]] from 1972 to 1976 and from 1977 to 1981. He was the last living recipient of the Victoria Cross in Ibagli, and the first and only Ibaglian recipient of the Order of the Garter.

==Early Life==

Henry LeVeque was born on 18 July 1913 in Berkshire to William and Mary LeVeque. He was educated at Eton and Cambridge, where he studied law, and the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He joined the Grenadier Guards in 1935. In 1936 he married [[Harriet LeVeque|Harriet Milner]]. Also in 1936, he was present at the state funeral of King George V and the only Birthday parade of King Edward VIII, who would abdicate later that year to marry Wallis Simpson. He was also in the coronation procession of King George VI in 1937. He rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel during the second World War, where he saw action in France, Belgium, and Germany. He was awarded the Military Cross in 1940, and the Distinguished Service Order and the Victoria Cross in 1944. He left the army in 1945.

In 1946, he moved to Ibagli and set up a law firm in Exeter. In 1951, he was made a [[Queen's Counsel|King's Counsel]]. He was elected to the House of Commons in the 1955 election as a member of the [[Liberal Party]]. In 1968, he was elected leader of his party. In 1972, the Liberals won the general election, and LeVeque was appointed Prime Minister.

==First Term==

One of the first actions of LeVeque as Prime Minister was to repeal much of the social legislation put forth by the [[Joseph Kenilworth|Kenilworth]] administrations. The [[relocation program]] was one of the first programs repealed. Provisions were made for settling aboriginal land claims. In 1973 capital punishment was banned. In 1974, diplomatic relations with South Africa were ended in response to the South African government's policies of apartheid. He appointed [[Gregory Parks]], the [[Speaker of the House of Commons]], to be [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] in 1974.

In 1975, LeVeque suffered a mild stroke. He considered resigning, but was convinced by his cabinet to stay on as Prime Minister against the advice of his doctors.

==1976 Election==

In the 1976 general election, the [[Conservative Party]] won 29 of 30 seats, the Liberals 28, and the [[Social Credit Party]] won 3. The Conservative and Social Credit parties entered into a coalition that lasted until 1977. Rockington was criticised for his handling of the coalition, having failed to give the Social Credit Party a significant voice in cabinet, and refusing to allow bills related to Social Credit policy matters to come up for a vote. In 1977, the Social Credit Party pulled its support from the coalition, and Prime Minister Rockington advised the [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] to call an election.

==1977 Election==

In the 1977 General Election, the Liberals won 42 seats, the Conservatives 17, and the Social Credit Party won 1. LeVeque was reappointed Prime Minister shortly thereafter.

==Second Term==

In 1977, a [[House of Commons]] vote on the abolition of the [[Senate]] gained the required two-thirds support necessary for passage. The Senate refused to consider the resolution, and it was dropped by the government.

In 1978, faced with mounting debts, he cancelled the Haphonia Motorways Project, which was an ambitious Kenilworth-era plan to build several motorways across the city of [[Haphonia]], and was criticised by many in Haphonia who said it woulc cut the city into pieces.

In 1978, the Minister of Health introduced a bill that would create the [[Ibaglian Health Service]], a government funded agency that would provide free healthcare to all Ibaglians. Though initially controversial, the program proved to be a success.

In 1980, he appointed [[Annette Farquhar]], then the Chief Magistrate in Haphonia to the [[Crown Court]]. This was controversial as she was the husband of a cabinet minister, [[Ian Farquhar]]. In 1972, she was appointed to the position of Chief Magistrate in Haphonia by her stepfather, [[Joseph Kenilworth]]. Farquhar would later be appointed [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]]. He appointed [[Joshua Arnham]] to be Governor-General later in 1980.

In 1981, LeVeque announced a government policy that would have granted a free university-level education to every person in Ibagli. The policy was controversial, and the [[1981 General Election]] was seen as a referendum on the issue. The policy was eventually enacted by the [[Vincent McNeese|McNeese]] government in 2005.

==1981 Election==

In the 1981 General Election, the Liberal Party won 17 seats, the Conservative Party won 38, the Social Credit Party won 4, and one seat was won by an independent candidate. After resigning the office of Prime Minister, LeVeque announced his retirement from the leadership of the Liberal Party and from Parliament. He was offered a seat in the [[Senate]] by newly-appointed Prime Minister [[Charles Forrester]] but he refused the appointment, citing his belief that the Senate should be abolished.

==Governor-General==

After retiring from politics in 1981, LeVeque moved to Royal Arbour. He was well-known in his community for opening his door to the homeless on Christmas and serving them dinner, as well as for baking and serving cookies for the children of his community. In 1987, Prime Minister [[Charles Forrester]] asked him to accept the position of [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]]. LeVeque, an ardent monarchist, felt himself unworthy to represent the [[Monarchy in Ibagli|Sovereign]]. He also felt that someone who had been Prime Minister, a job which by its nature causes political division, should enter into a role requiring complete neutrality. After a week of deliberation, he decided to accept the position. He was remarkably popular as Governor-General. At Government House, he continued his Christmas day tradition.

In 1988, [[Queen Elizabeth II]] appointed him to be a Knight Companion of the Order of the Garter, the highest-ranking order of chivalry in the Commonwealth. He was the first, and as of 2006, only, Ibaglian citizen to be made a Knight of the Garter.

In 1989, LeVeque became the first Governor-General to have to use his reserve powers to appoint a Prime Minister after Charles Forrester's death. He appointed [[Thomas Harlington]] Prime Minister until the [[Conservative Party]] was able to elect a leader. A Haphonia newspaper criticised LeVeque for 'appointing whoever he thought would most likely lose the election so his old lackeys could be in power again.' They retracted their statement after it was revealed that Forrester had asked LeVeque to appoint Harlington Prime Minister should he die in office.

In 1990, [[Government House]] was bombed by members of the [[Ibagli Liberation Front|ILF]]. Though LeVeque was not injured, a staff member was killed by the explosion. LeVeque was reported to have continued to pay the family of the staff member his salary until his death. He also established a trust fund for the children of the staff member.

LeVeque retired from the office of Governor-General in 1992, citing his growing age and health concerns.

==Later Life==

After his term in Government House, he returned to his home Royal Arbour. From 1994 to 1999 he served as Chancellor of [[Thistledowne University]] in [[Loygre]]. In 2004, a panel at the university voted LeVeque 'The Greatest Ibaglian.' After the top 5 candidates were announced, the public were invited to give their views. LeVeque personally appeared before the panel to tell them the reasons why they should not vote for him, but rather [[Edward Brixton]], the man who brought independence to Ibagli. This expression of humility was seen as one of the reasons that the panel nearly unanimously voted for LeVeque. In March 2006, he was hospitalized for a respiratory condition. On 8 March 2006, it was announced from the LeVeque family that he was entering "into the final days of his life."

He died on 30 March 2006 at his home in Royal Arbour. He was given a [[state funeral]] in [[Haphonia]]. Approximately 96,000 people filed past his body as it lay in state on Parliament Hill. He was buried at [[The Citadel]] in [[Haphonia]].

==Personal Life==

LeVeque and his wife had three children and eight grandchildren. His eldest son, Richard, is the Mayor of [[Exeter]]. All three of his children have seen military service. His daughter Patricia was among the first women to be admitted into the [[Royal Ibaglian Navy]]. She served as a Liberal MP from 1985 until she lost her seat in 1999. His other daughter [[Emily Goodwin|Emily]] serves in the [[Royal Ibaglian Air Force]]. She married [[John Goodwin]], who would later become Prime Minister, in 1974.

===Religious Views===

LeVeque was a devout Anglican, though it rarely affected his politics. Many of his policies were strongly condemned by the church in Ibagli, including the lessening of laws restricting abortion, the repeal of sodomy laws, and the easing of divorce procedures.

'''The Right Honourable Sir John Goodwin, GCRI, MP''' (b. 30 January 1940) is the [[Prime Minister of Ibagli|Prime Minister]] of [[Ibagli]]. He was appointed to his current term on 18 November 2006 by [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] Sir [[Steven Spell]]. He also served as the [[Prime Minister of Ibagli|Prime Minister]] of [[Ibagli]] from 1994 to 2004, the [[Minister of Foreign Affairs]] from 1985 to 1989, the [[Government House Leader]] from May to November 1989, and the [[Minister of Defence]] from January to February 2006. He is the leader of the [[Conservative Party]].

==Early Life==

He was born on 30 January 1940 in London. His family moved to Ibagli in 1947, taking up residence in Crofton. He attended [[Exeter School|Exeter]], [[Thistledowne University|Thistledowne]], and Cambridge, receiving a doctorate in economics. From 1974 to 1976 he was a professor at Thistledowne.

He married [[Emily Goodwin|Emily LeVeque]], the daughter of Liberal Prime Minister [[Henry LeVeque]] in 1981.

==Member of Parliament==

He was first elected to the [[House of Commons]] in the the [[1976 General Election|1976 Election]]. He lost his seat in the [[1977 General Election|1977 Election]], but returned to the house in 1978 in a by-election.

==Cabinet Minister==

In 1985, he was chosen to be [[Minister of Foreign Affairs]] in the government of [[Charles Forrester]]. After the death of Forrester in 1989, he was appointed to the additional position of [[Government House Leader]] in the short-lived government of [[Thomas Harlington]].

==Conservative Leadership==

In the [[1989 General Election|1989 Election]], Harlington lost his seat in the House, and resigned as the leader of the Conservative Party. Goodwin was appointed to be the interim leader of the party. Goodwin was elected leader of the party in the first round of the 1990 leadership election.

==Prime Minister==

The Conservative Party won the [[1994 General Election|1994 Election]], and Goodwin was appointed Prime Minister.

In the [[1999 General Election|1999 Election]], the party won the highest number of seats in the House of Commons since 1963.

In 2003, he introduced a bill that prevented the [[High Court of Appeals]] from hearing cases related to the constitutionality of laws prevent same-sex marriage. As the Court was a part of Parliament, it could be instructed by Parliament as to which cases it was permitted to hear. The bill was successful, but was overturned by the [[Vincent McNeese|McNeese]] administration in 2004.

==Leadership Challenge==

After the Conservative Party lost both the [[August 2004 General Election|August]] and [[December 2004 General Election|December 2004 Elections]], Goodwin faced a leadership challenge mounted by Conservative backbencher [[Clinton Roser]]. Roser narrowly won the 2005 leadership election.

From January to February 2006 he served as [[Minister of Defence]] in [[Marcus Smallegan]]'s short-lived administration.

==Return to Power==

On 27 May 2006, he announced that he would challenge the leadership of Roser, blaming Roser for the breakup of the party and the subsequent poor showing in the [[January 2006 General Election]]. His campaign was successful.

In the [[November 2006 General Election]], the Conservatives won a majority in the House of Commons. Two days later, he was appointed Prime Minister.

'''Field Marshal the Right Honourable Sir Erik Barnes, GCRI, DSO, MC, ID, MP''' (9 March 1947–) is the [[Minister of Finance]] in [[Ibagli]]. He served as [[Chief of the Defence Staff]] from 1993 to 1999.

==Early Life==

He was born on 9 March 1947 in [[New Windsor]] to Geoff Barnes, a bakery owner, and Linda Meeuwsen, a teacher at St. Joseph Catholic School. Both were immigrants to Ibagli.

==Military Service==

After leaving secondary school, Barnes attended the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. In 1969, he graduated from Sandhurst and became a commissioned officer in the Parachute Company, 2nd Batallion [[Royal Ibaglian Regiment]]. Upon his return, Ibaglian forces were sent to [[Palterma]] to quell a communist uprising that was occurring on the island.

Barnes was among the first soldiers to enter Palterma in late 1969. On his fifth jump over Palterma, he was captured in Palterma City and was held as a Prisoner of War for sixteen months. After Ibagli withdrew troops in 1972, he was returned to Ibagli, having earned the Distinguished Service Order and the Military Cross during his time in Palterma.

Barnes made his way through the ranks in the [[Ibaglian Army|Army]]. In 1989, he was appointed Chief of the General Staff, and was promoted to the rank of [[Military ranks|General]]. In 1993, he was appointed [[Chief of the Defence Staff]], and promoted to the rank of Field Marshal. He would serve in that role until 1999. He was appointed colonel of the [[Royal Ibaglian Regiment]] in 2000.

In early 2004, Barnes returned to Palterma to lead Ibaglian troops in a short peacekeeping mission after the collapse of the recently-elected democratic government.

==Political Career==

In late 2004, Barnes became angry with the recently-elected [[Liberal Party|Liberal]] minority government, and decided to run for a seat in the [[House of Commons]] in the district of [[Kensington-Royal Arbor-New Windsor]] as a member of the [[Conservative Party]]. He was successful in his bid for election. By mid-2005, Barnes had become a party whip and was responsible for the so-called 'three bar whip' that ordered Conservative MPs to vote against the creation of a [[Republicanism in Ibagli|republic]]. Fellow Conservative [[Marcus Smallegan]] voted for the creation of a Republic, and Smallegan was dismissed from the party shortly thereafter. Smallegan would eventually go on to form the [[New Conservative Party]].

===Election 2006===

In December 2005, [[Parliament of Ibagli|Parliament]] was dissolved as a result of the [[prorogation scandal]], and an [[2006 General Election|election]] was called for mid-January 2006, pitting the Conservative Party against the Liberals and New Conservatives. Barnes was highly visible during the campaign, and led the criticism against the '[[Cooky Tax]]' policy of the NCP. The Conservative Party tied the NCP for second place in the election, with each party winning 15 seats in the House.

Shortly after the election, the two parties created the [[Conservative Alliance]], with Smallegan being appointed [[Prime Minister of Ibagli|Prime Minister]]. Barnes was appointed [[Minister of Foreign Affairs]] shortly thereafter.

===Minister of Foreign Affairs===

Days after being sworn in as Minister of Foreign Affairs, he went to Liberia to lead a delegation to the inauguration of Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, the first female elected head of state in Africa.

Several weeks after his appointment, Barnes resigned his position as Minister of Foreign Affairs for unknown reasons. It was speculated in the press that Barnes often had severe disagreements with Smallegan and the New Conservative leadership. As a backbencher, he remained a prominent force in the Party and the Alliance. The Smallegan government fell on the Speech From the Throne in February 2006 and became the [[Loyal Opposition]]. The Conservative Alliance was dissolved on 4 May 2006.

===The Erik Barnes Program===

Barnes become the host of the first conservative radio talk show – [[The Erik Barnes Program]] – on the [[Ibaglian Broadcasting Company]]'s radio network IBC2 in 2004. The show has several affiliates in Ibagli and [[Hapalnia]].

==Saint-Denis Conflict==

On 29 April 2006, Barnes was appointed by [[Minister of Defence]] [[Steven Lyall]] to command Ibaglian forces in [[Operation Swordfish]], a military operation to eradicate the [[Ibagli Liberation Front]] from the island of [[Saint-Denis]]. The ILF had recently perpetrated the [[ANZAC Day Bombing]] in [[Haphonia]] on 25 April 2006. The operation caused a rift within the [[Roger Pollack|Pollack]] government, with [[Minister of Finance]] [[Péricles Maranhão Neto]] refusing to allow finances to go to the Ministry of Defence until they agreed to end the conflict. Ibaglian forces began their withdrawal on 13 May 2006.

==Political Beliefs==

*'''Political Ideology:''' Barnes describes himself as a fiscal conservative and a social moderate.

*'''Business:''' Barnes has always been known for his belief in the goodness of both large corporations and small businesses and has supported and introduced many bills in Parliament giving relief to both. Most have been rejected by the House.

*'''Gun Ownership:''' Barnes believes in a person's right to own a gun and has introduced legislation making gun ownership legal. However, Barnes supports the outlawing of certain types of firearms.

*'''Same-Sex Marriage:''' Although known as being against same-sex marriage, Barnes opposes any legislation that defines marriage being between a man and a woman. Barnes believes that 'no government has the right to say what is love and what is not.'

*'''Abortion:''' Barnes is against abortion but like same-sex marriage, Barnes believes that the government should not get into one's personal life. Instead, he believes the government 'should work on preventing abortion.'

*'''The Senate:''' Barnes strongly opposes the [[Senate]] and has introduced legislation that would abolish the Senate. The legislation was rejected.

*'''Military:''' Being a career military officer, Barnes supports all legislation for the advancement of the [[Ibaglian Armed Forces|military of Ibagli]].

*'''Economic Policies:''' Barnes believes that under the Liberal government, Ibagli's economy has taken a downturn and believes that the Liberal Party does not seem to care anymore. Barnes has proposed tax cuts and tax incentives for companies that keep jobs in Ibagli.

*'''Welfare:''' Barnes strongly opposes welfare because he believes "it's being abused". Barnes also strongly opposes socialized healthcare which was enacted by then-[[Minister of Health|Health Minister]] [[Steven Spell]], and is in favor of a personal or an employer based system of insurance, supplemented by Medicare for the elderly and Medicaid for the poor.

*'''Affirmative Action:''' Barnes very strongly opposes affirmative action.

==Quotes==
*'I need to get a more precise definition.'
:''Barnes asking [[Green Party]] MP [[Steven Lyall]] to define civil rights after he said same-sex marriage was a civil rights issue in 2004.''

*'In Ibagli, anyone can run and be elected to Parliament. Thats just one of the risks we have to take'

'''The Right Honourable Dame Annette Farquhar, OIM, GCMG, GCVO, GCRI, DBE, ID, QC''' (1940–2007) was the [[Governor-General of Ibagli|Governor-General]] of [[Ibagli]] from March 2005 to July 2006.

==Early Life==

She was born to Elizabeth and Randall Caradine on June 7th, 1940 in Portsmouth, England. Randall was a Lieutenant Colonel in the British Army and had left for action in Norway and was killed in late May. Elizabeth remarried in May 1947 to [[Joseph Kenilworth]], a construction worker. Soon after their marriage, they moved to Ibagli, where an economic boom was taking place after the war, to escape the postwar austerity in Britain. They soon settled in Exeter, and Joseph took up a career in politics, soon becoming an MLA in the Ibaglian Legislative Assembly.

Annette was educated at Thistledowne in Hampton, Ibagli and Oxford University in England, where she studied law. During this time, Ibagli gained its independence from the United Kingdom, and Joseph ran a successful bid for leader of the Conservative Party. In the 1959 election, the Conservative Party, led by Joseph Kenilworth, won the majority in the new Ibaglian [[House of Commons]], and Joseph became the [[Prime Minister of Ibagli]], a post he would hold until 1972. Upon returning to Ibagli, Annette was admitted to the bar of Ibagli, and practiced maritime law in Ibagli and several British territories in the South Pacific. She was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1970.

In 1964, Annette announced her engagement to [[Ian Farquhar]], a [[Liberal Party|Liberal]] MP. Despite the controversy, she pressed on with the engagement, marrying on August 4th. Ian and Annette have three children.

==Judge==

In 1971, she was appointed Chief Magistrate of Haphonia by Prime Minister Kenilworth, a move which was criticized by the opposition and which many see as contributing to the Conservative Party's loss of the 1972 election. She held this position until 1980, when she was appointed to the Crown Court. She was appointed to the position of Chief Justice in 1993, a position that she held until 2005, when she was appointed Governor-General of Ibagli.

==Governor-General==

Farquhar was generally well-received as Governor-General, with many finding her to be warmer and more open than her predecessor, who was famous for his distance from the people. She was seriously injured in the [[ANZAC Day Bombing]], and was in a coma for nearly a month. Her commission was revoked on 6 July 2006 due to her involvement in the overthrow of the government that year.

===Travel===

In April 2005, Farquhar undertook a visit to Italy and the Holy See to attend the funeral of Pope John Paul II, and to the United Kingdom for the wedding of HRH the Prince of Wales and HRH the Duchess of Cornwall.
