Liora Shapiro (Yebru: ליאורה שפירא) is currently the Leader of the Opposition within the Knesset and the leader of Avoda. She is the youngest member in the chamber, having only joined 4 years ago. Shapiro has quickly climbed the ladder into leadership after Aron Leverson, her predecessor, failed to beat Lasker's coalition. Liora is a breath of fresh air for a country going through a tremendous amount of change while tensions in the Samarran Valley is only getting worse. Many on both sides of the political spectrum believe she will one day become Prime Minister. Shapiro's rise in politics can be attributed from longstanding inequities and constant settlement in the Samarra that Avoda states have been caused due to reckless, self-seeking, and pandering to extremist elements by the Herut Party and its far-right backers.
