Bruce Brimley

Bruce Stanley Brimley (Born September 20th, 1972), served as the 35th Prime Minister of Airedalandia.

Brimley was born and raised in the city of Airedale. Born to an upper-middle class family, he was an excellent student and graduated from the National University of Airedalandia in 1995 to become a prominent lawyer. Early in his law career he became involved in politics, first running for a seat in the National Parliament unsuccessfully in 1998. He won a seat after his second attempt in 2003, and soon became the face of a new generation of Liberals that sought to unseat Prime Minister Richard Summerson. In 2013, he did exactly that, ending nearly 15 years of National Party rule.

As Prime Minister Brimley earned praise from across the political spectrum for his rapprochement with Zootron after the developments of the Simon Cooper Investigation. He is credited with ending the Second Cold War, and setting a new tone for the relationship with Airedalandia's traditional foe. During his premiership defence spending was cut, and he moved to make sweeping reforms that would see much of Airedalandia's healthcare system shift from the state to federal level, both of which proved politically costly. In the lead-up to his 2018 re-election campaign his popularity waned, and he lost to the combined National-Conservative ticket of Isabel Pascual.
