Looch

Carlos "Looch" Lucania (born June 8, 1960) is a Doggerland politician who is currently serving as a member of the National Assembly of Doggerland. He is a member of the Free and Equal Party.

Early Life
Looch was born Carlos Lucania in Midtte, Medost, Doggerland on June 8, 1960. His mother was a native of a English speaking community in rural Medost. His father, Gabriel Lucania, was an Italian born emigre to Spain, where served in the MAOC during the Spanish Civil War. He fled to exile in Doggerland after the war, finding work in Midtte's Industrial sector. Gabriel became an influential member of the local Latin community, labor unions and Worker's Party. He played an instrumental role in ensuring the support of Midette workers during the merger between the WP and AP into the Labor Worker's Party(LWP).

Looch was one of five children in the Lucania household. Looch got involved in Leftist politics at a very young age, joining the LWP in 1976. After working several years in the industrial sector, he went to the University of Leestrom to study law, graduating in 1982. Afterwards he moved to Fort Aleselle to begin his practice. In 1990 he moved back to Midette, where he got involved in electoral politics.

1976 Church Attack
While attending mass during a trip to Fort Åleselle in September 1975, an anti-catholic terrorist attack was carried out on the church by the Brink crime family. Looch was severely injured in the attack, permanently disfiguring his right eye.

Early Political Career
As almost life long member of the LWP, he received the party's nomination and support for the 1992 Medost Parliament elections, which he won.

Looch was a member of the left wing of the party. He was an outspoken critic of the first LWP prime minister James "Jim" Crowley, who represented the more moderate wing of the party. In 1994 Looch publicly left from the national LWP, stating that "My loyalty to this party, as deep as meaningful as it is, has blinded me to the fact that this party is no longer loyal to the workers for which it was made to fight for". Looch later revealed that the trigger for his decision was election of Tony Blair as leader of the British Labour Party, what he saw as a sign of "Crowley's Mold" beginning to affect other socialist parties. Looch continued to be a member of his local Labor Party of Medost. However in 1996, following an interview in which Looch referred to Crowley as "The Judas of the working man" and a "two faced idiot", the Medost branch removed him due to pressure from the national affiliate. Leaked documents would later reveal that this included the threat of withholding funds for the branch.

Looch ran again for parliament, this time as an independent, and narrowly won his race. He continued to serve in the Medost Parliament for another three terms, before retiring. Following his resignation, he became a supporter of LWP Prime Minister Rachel Leah, and stated that "Rachel may be the one to fix the labor party's trend". He also occasionally supported the Communist Party, but never registered as a member.

Looch reemerged into the political scene in 2021. He was on the party list for the relatively new political party, Free and Equal, for the Early July 2021 Doggerland legislative elections. On July 4 2021, he was elected to the National Assembly.
