Karl Mainet (CA)

Karl Stephen Mainet (born 12 January 4065) is a Junoian politician who is currently serving as the President of Juno

Mainet was born in the city of Hadrons Gate in the county of Kawkai. From a young age he was interested in politics. He had worked at the local town hall for a number of years and had been a loyal supporter of the Conservative Party. When he was 18 his father entered him into a engineering course at the University of Razgriz. Mainet completed his course but left when he ran for election in 4085.

Mainet was elected at the age of 20 to the House of Delegates in 4085. He was the youngest ever elected delegate. His notability among other delegates was questionable. He was believed by many too young and too tender to be involved in politics and was even petitioned to give up his seat. Mainet refused all attempts and became popular among his party as a resilient young man. Until 4093 Mainet contained most of his actions to his constituency though he did serve on a number of committees. He entered the national stage when he was appointed as Shadow Minister for Finance. He then went on to become Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party. After Liz Kenny was ousted from her office after nearly 15 years of losing election Mainet was chose as her replacement. Mainet successfully reinvented the party and tried to make it more appealing to young people. He led his party to electoral success in 4105 when his party won a majority in parliament. He hailed as a great leader for his party as the party had not come close to government since 4031.

Mainet's time in office has been labelled as more progressive then previous Conservative leaders. Mainet's economic policies have worked well and he has been praised for his parties acceptance of LGBT marriage rights. He has been fiercely criticized by various churches who see the party as a political wing for them. Mainet has fought to introduce secular policies which further improved his popularity. Scholars are weary whether he can fix the homelessness problem which is rife across Juno and some have also been heavily critical of his social protection policies which have been called by some as "survival of the fittest" and "every man for himself" by opposition parties.
