Sofia Andersen

Sofia Andersen (born 3 September 1963) is a Marianan politician and leader of the Marianan People's Party. Succeeding father Jan Andersen as leader of the MPP, she has proven to be a controversial politician and leading figure of the radical right in Mariana, comparable to the Alt-right in Anglo-America.

Biography
She was born in Drenthe to right-wing politician Jan Andersen and Maria Andersen. She was involved in a relationship with a distant member of the Royal family, having a daughter, but it was tumultuous and they split up after five years, in 1990. She worked as a lawyer from the mid-1980s, a specialist on criminal and later constitutional law.

In 2003 she became a member of her father's MPP, representing a more right but aggressive wing to the party which used the media to better connect with supporters.

Views
The term "Andersenism" is often used to describe her political stance and approach, as Andersen draws from both the far left and right wing for inspiration. She is neoliberal when it comes to the economy, but other than that she is extremely right wing, closed to immigration and multiculturalism. Left-leaning radio Politiek Palma has even gone as far to say that she "was better suited to the Nazi era than the 21st century", when talking about her multiculturalism beliefs. Andersen has said that she takes heavy offense when called a Nazi, and has denounced the Neo-Nazi movement. Often compared to Margaret Thatcher and Sarah Palin, Andersen has become an excellent orator and often delivers strong public speeches, which have even gotten admiration from political opponents.

Personal life
Andersen married engineer James Bolton in 1992 and they have a son, Harry, born in 1994.
