Seth Woods

Seth Woods (born March 20, 1972) is a Dogger politician and climate activist who is the Free & Equal Party's Chief of Climate Oversight. He also serves as a Member of the National Assembly for the Labor Workers' Party. Previously, he worked as a zoologist at the Adelaide Zoo in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia, before helping found Greenpeace Doggerland in 2010, where he would work until entering Dogger politics in 2020.



Seth Woods' favorite animal is the Koala, which he has focused his efforts on saving and protecting in Australia. Woods has also compared the animal to his own political beliefs, citing their symbolism of peace and tranquility.

Early Life
Seth Woods was born in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia on March 20, 1972, though he holds dual-citizenship in both Australia and Doggerland. His father was an immigrant from Mistlân, Zuidvis, while his mother was from Adelaide, South Australia. When he was a child, his family moved to Perth, Western Australia where he attended high school and Murdoch University. He graduated in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Zoology.

Progressive Libertarians and Free & Equal
Seth Woods served as the first leader of the Progressive Libertarian Party, however, after it was announced that the Free & Equal Party was being formed, Woods would leave the Progressive Libertarians to join Free & Equal, encouraging his fellow left-libertarians to coalesce under the leadership of William Bos.



Shortly after joining Free & Equal, William Bos would name Woods Chief of Climate Oversight, a position he would use to advocate for climate-related bills like the Climate Emergency Act, Recycling Act, and Green Exchange Program.

Labor Workers' Party
Because Woods entered the national stage for the first time halfway through a legislative term, he was the only one out of the five founding members of the Free & Equal Party to not already have a seat in the National Assembly, and therefore, the only one to not serve under the F&E banner.

On June 18, 2021, however, Woods was approached by Prime Minister Theodor Mann and Minister Avery Wagers who offered him a seat in the National Assembly for the Labor Workers' Party for his dedication to fighting climate change and promoting unions and co-ops.

Seth Woods accepted the offer from the Labor Workers' Party with the stipulation that he could continue to serve as the Free & Equal Party's Chief of Climate Oversight and would run on Free & Equal's party list in the July 2021 Doggerland Legislative Elections. Woods was sworn in as a Member of the National Assembly later that day.

Independent Liberty Ticket
On June 17, 2021, Preston Mapping announced his intention to run for President of Doggerland in the June 2021 Presidential Election, picking his good friend and political ally, Seth Woods, as his running mate.

Preston Mapping described the ticket as the "Independent Liberty Ticket," with Mapping and Woods deciding to run as Independents in the name of libertarian unity. Following in the spirit of libertarian unity, the Reform Party and Free & Equal would endorse the Independent Liberty Ticket.

On June 18, Preston Mapping would secure the necessary signatures to officially be included on the first-round ballot.

In the first official Doggerland June 2021 Presidential Poll, Preston Mapping was the most popular candidate at 24%, followed by Rune at 19%, and Mel at 15%.
