Oliver Wright (born 27 June 1968) is a Sallian politician who served as Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sallia from 1995 to 2015. He became an MP in the 1987 general election at just 19, standing in his hometown of James Park. In his early years, he served in the Cabinet in high roles in quick succession: as Home Secretary from 1988-89, Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1989-90 and Foreign Secretary from 1990-92. After Labour's defeat at the 1992 general election, Wright resigned from the Shadow Cabinet and returned to the backbenches. In 1994, the Labour Party lost its leader and Wright won the subsequent leadership election. In 1995, the governing Liberal Party called a snap general election, which was won by Labour with the biggest landslide majority in history.

Wright went on to win another four general elections until his resignation as Prime Minister and Leader of the Labour Party in June 2015. He then returned to the backbenches where he has remained ever since.

Youngest MP in history

On 9 May 1987, Wright became the youngest MP in Sallian history after winning the constituency of James Park for the Labour Party. He made his maiden speech on 19 May 1987 and was appointed by Labour Prime Minister Hugh Weigt as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of State for Trade on 1 June 1987. Weigt saw Prime Minister potential in Wright when he was just 19. He remained in the role until 1 December 1988, when the post of Home Secretary became vacant, and Weigt appointed Wright.

Cabinet roles

Wright was appointed Home Secretary on 1 December 1988 on the Cabinet of Hugh Weigt. His term was short lived, as the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer became vacant on 27 April 1989, and Weigt appointed Wright Chancellor.

Wright found managing the economy difficult but fun, but was overwhelmed during the 1990 expenses scandal and resigned his post on 30 January 1990 to return to the backbenches. In early February, however, the post of Foreign Secretary became vacant
