Leyton Douglas

The Hon. Frederick Leyton Coburn Douglas, known almost universally as Leyton Douglas (b. January 2, 1940) is a former Chief Minister of Mainland, holding office three times - from April to August 1978, again from 1987 to 1990, and a third time from 1994 to 1998. A lifelong moderate Conservative, Douglas represented the state seat of Wilmot in the Mainland state legislature from 1963 until 2000, and the same seat in the legislature of East Mainland from 2000 until 2004, when he retired from state politics. Having been effectively the member for the same seat for forty-one years, Douglas is the second longest-serving member of a state legislature, behind John Watts, who served forty-eight years (1927-1976). Douglas has been described as a 'professional politician' and as "Mister Mainland", a nickname he has encouraged. Douglas is also remembered as having been Chief Minister three times but only ever winning one state election, and that only narrowly. Unpredictable and eccentric, Douglas is a national icon throughout much of Georgeland on both sides of the political divide. Douglas is now a Conservative candidate for President of Georgeland, with suggestions he can be considered the party's front-runner.
