Micheal Brudia (1982-02-11) 11 February 1982 is the 4th President of Vazcoeur and leader of the Progressive. He has been President since the late June Snap Elections. He won an upset victory in the 2014 Brudian gubernatorial election. He has been described as one of the key members of the Movement Blue which exposed Xino's crimes.

Feeling disillusioned with the main left-leaning political parties Brudia stood as a independent candidate in the 2014 Brudian gubernatorial election where he unexpectedly came second in the first round of voting and then won an upset victory in the second round. In late 2016 he publicly endorsed the Progressive Alliance and announced his intention to stand as leader becoming the dark-horse candidate. He would end up winning a landslide victory becoming the first leader of a political party in Vazcoeur to be a sitting governor.

Ideology and views

Brudia describes himself as a democratic socialist. This has caused major controversy and ridicule in the media due to his position being perceived to be extremely out of touch and radical.

Social Views

Michael Brudia's views on society and social issues are described as extremely progressive. His policy positions have consistently been for same-sex marriage, unrestricted abortion, the separation of church and state and discrimination protection for all. It is unclear his opinion on transgender and non-binary issues as many would describe him borderline transphobic as he is opposed to the unrestricted nature of current laws on gender. Brudia himself has said that he isnt transphobic and that he simply believes having no regulations at all allows transphobes to "win".

Foreign Policy Views

Brudia's Foreign policy is extremely anti-war and in favour of logical pacifism. He is opposed to any nation which abuses human rights and has controversially broke relations with these coumtroes withdrawing all aid sent to them and permanently closing Vazian embassies.

Personal life

Brudia's sexuality has always been a major point of interest in the media. His close relationship with David Sud has always been the reason for so many rumours of Brudia potentially being gay. Brudia confirmed his relationship with Sud in a candid interview on the campaign trail of the 2014 gubernatorial election saying that “it is really irrelevant to my ability to be the governor” but adding that he knew that it was “historic”.

Micheal Brudia has also suffered from depression and anxiety in the early 2000s and praised mental health officials to help him "recover from my dark time". He is also an outspoken athiest who has famously debated publically many high religious leaders.
