BlueViper

Jack "BlueViper" Viperage (born 29th August 1968) in an MP in the National Assembly for the Communist Party, elected in the January 2021 Legislative Election. He moved to Doggerland in 1992 from the UK where he was a member of the Communist Party of Britain.



Early Life
Jack was born to a working class family of miners in Maltby, South Yorkshire. At the age of 6, his father took him to his first Labour Party rally being held outside the local Colliery. He joined the Labour Party under leader Michael Foot at the 1983 election. He left school at 16 after becoming disolusioned with education and took a job as administrative assistant at Bently Colliery. Only 2 years later he would leave to re-enter edcuation, this time training to be a primary school teacher.

Communist Party of Britain
After the Labour Party moved to the right, Jack joined the Communist Party of Britain, becoming the local party's chair in 1985, aged only 17. He would co-author the South Yorkshire Communist Party's manifesto during this time. 2 Years later he would stand as the Party's candidate for Conisbrough aiming to unseat the incumbent Labour councilor who he had know from his days in the party. He won the election with 571 votes becoming the first Communist councilor to Doncaster Council in since before the Second World War.

Working in Education
The same year he became a councilor, Jack got a job as a teaching assisstant at the Primary he had gone to in Maltby. He would stay there untill immigrating to Doggerland. In 1990 his first book "Changing Times: The Life of Children in Britain's forgotten communities" was published. Despite attempting to get many Chrildren's Novels published, he only ever managed to get his analytical texts published during his time in the UK.

After moving to Doggerland, the very opposite would be true. Between 1999 and 2017, he would publish 10 books for children with varied success.

Immigration to Doggerland
After the collapse of the Soviet Union the CPB would effectively collapse and Jack would leave the party in 1991 alongside stepping down as a councilor. After many of his friends havig been persecuted for their membership, Jack decided that remaining in the country would be untenable. In 1992, he chose Doggerland as an appropriate place to relocate. Despite Doggerland's own Communist Party being dispanded, he decided the country had more potential for Communist support being less influenced by NATO and the USA.

Communist Party of Doggerland
Jack decided to join Doggerland's Communist Party at a relatively late stage during preperations for the January General Election. He immediately put himself forward for an organisational role and offered up his design skills in creating promotional material. Jack was the designer of the Communist Party's current emblem. During the proccess of writting the Communist Party's manifesto, Jack decided to provide an alternative text to what had already been layed out by the party using the skills he learned during his time as Chair of SYCP and as a writer to create a new outline for the Party's aims, beleifs and values. His own manifesto was then adopted as an initial draft upon which the rest of the organisational team would build upon. On the 29th of January, he became the acting deputy-leader after the party's first leader, Pisces, stepped down. He remained in the role untill the 2nd of February, when he did not stand for further election to the post.

On the 14th of April, jack proposed an overhaul of the Communist PArty's constitution to create 4 new leadership roles who would lead together as the "Central Committee". After some confusion these proposals were dropped. There have been reports that he may attempt another constitutional change at some point in the future.

Jack opposed proposals from the Communist Party's more moderate wing to merge with Doggerland Left in time for the May election. These proposals were ultimately defeated and the CP remained a seperate political entity.

Political Views
Despite claiming to have no affiliation to any sub-ideology of Marxism, Jack is commonly seen as a Leninist. He is a strong proponent of the Vanguardist approach and has regualrly been accused of attempting to ferment revolution such as in his dealings with the National Union of Medicine Workers.

Jack was a critic of his party's involvement in a confidence and supply deal with the government after the January election, making clear on several occasions that the government had assumed the party's support without any actual discussions taking place or decisions being made. He was also a vocal critic of Prime Minister Kevin Trevor who he accused of behaving in an underhanded and disrespectful manner during what limited coalition discussions took place. Jack abstained on the Socialist Reform Bill. Despite approving of much of the bill's contents, he claimed that since it was clearly going to pass it was important that as a Communist, legislation that undermined the acheivement of Communist society cannot be supported.

Jack became the Secreatry of State for Health after the fall of the Triangle Government. During this time he developed the National Drug Production act which aimed to Nationalise Doggerland's Medicine producing companies before putting them under the semi-independent control of the industry's democratic workforce. After extensive negotiation with the more moderate elements of the Governing coalition the Bill passed the National Assembly mby 37 votes to 26. This was significient as it was one of the first instances of a Communist Minister getting legislation through the National Assembly. However, a session of the Senate was held almost immediately, which saw the NDPA voted down comprehensively as the first order of business. This event is seen as one of the contributing factors to the violence and political crisis that followed shortly after and eventually saw the end of the Doggerland Senate for good.

Jack is currently the Shadow minister for infrastructure. It has been reported he has been meeting with the major transport Unions in what is speculated to be preperation for new legislation in the area should his party one day be returned to Government.
