Avery!

Avery Abigail Wagers is a an English-Dogger politician, labor right's and LGBT right's activist who became active in Dogger federal politics following the March 2021 elections, where she would register as a member of the national Labor Workers' Party. She is known for falling on the left wing of the LWP.

Following a few years career in documentation and journalism, Avery would spend several years President of the Doggier Writers Guild representing her contemporaries in the field. She would start following national politics when it seemed a left victory was certain in the March elections, casting her vote for the LWP to support this goal. Over the next several weeks she would become close with many members of the LWP and would soon find herself in the position to enter Government.

Assigned to an empty LWP seat midway through April, she would rise throughout the party. She would be nominated for a cabinet seat following the temporary split of the Populist Party, becoming Minister of Labor and Welfare. She would initially support Prime Minister Mel during initial interparty conflicts, but come to support Trashman following realization of the April 25th coup. She ran in the April 26th Deputy Leader elections, supporting Trashman's bid for leader, narrowly winning the deputy leadership position in the party due to the ranked choice voting system. She was the one who initially discovered IDP leader Beady had conducted fraud during the April 29th elections. Following the passing of the Constitution and Elections Bill on May 3rd, Avery would announce her candidacy for the President, competing in the Forward Presidential Alliance Primaries and ultimately placing third, endorsing and campaigning for Rune in the ensuing election and runoff. She would be elected by her peers in the national assembly to become Deputy Speaker, serving with Benjamin LeDuc.

Following the May 2021 Legislative Elections, Avery would take a more active role in party leadership, leading the Party and Opposition in Trashman's absence until his return and actively participating in coalition negotiations. During the coalition negotiations following the June 2021 Doggerland legislative elections she was key in forging the agreements necessary to create the Doggerland Belongs to You coalition, where she would become Minister of Home Affairs and Government Spokes Person. She would be a decently active Minister, working with other cabinet members on bills and midway through the term submitting a comprehensive prison reform bill called the Uncaged Act which had the co-sponsor of members across the political spectrum. Following the July 2021 Doggerland legislative elections she would support Humanist Center leader Apples and his endeavor to form a Hexagon Government with Prime Minister Trashman and current LOTO and soon to be Deputy Prime Minister Saber serving a rotational Prime-Ministership to swap halfway through the month. This idea was cut short when Prime Minister Trashman seemed to retire in the late evening of June 6th. It is currently unknown if he will return to leadership or if the Labor Workers' Party will be voting for a new one sooner than it had wished.
