Seth Woods

Seth Woods (born March 20, 1972) is a Dogger politician and climate activist who is the Vice President of Doggerland, the Chairman of the Green Caucus, and the Deputy Leader of Free & Equal. He also serves as a Member of the National Assembly for Free & Equal. 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.

Justice Party and Greenpeace Doggerland
Seth Woods was one of the original founders of Greenpeace Doggerland, alongside a group of his fellow Dogger climate activists. Quickly after the formation of the environmental organization in 2010, Woods was elected first President, a position he would serve in until entering the national political sphere of Doggerland in 2020.

While acting as President of Greenpeace Doggerland, Woods was open in his support of the Justice Party, volunteering and voting for the party until it was dissolved on February 17, 2021. Woods even performed a televised speech in support of Elian Aldo becoming Leader of the Justice Party, following the Doggerland political crisis of January 2021.

Progressive Libertarians and Free & Equal (1/2)
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 because of 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.

Progressive Libertarians and Free & Equal (2/2)
The Progressive Libertarian Party was officially dissolved on June 20, 2021, and with this announcement came an added seat in the National Assembly for Seth Woods, the party's founder. The end of the Progressive Libertarians thus resulted in a total coalescence of the left-libertarian vote under William Bos and in seats for all five of the original Free & Equal members.

Seth Woods gracefully and peacefully left the was Labor Workers' Party on the 20th, and was later sworn in as a Member of the National Assembly for Free & Equal. Woods would continue to act as the party's Chief of Climate Oversight from then on.

July 2021 Presidential Election




On June 17, 2021, Joris Jansen 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.

Joris Jansen described the ticket as the "Independent Liberty Ticket," with Jansen 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, Joris Jansen would secure the necessary signatures to officially be included on the first-round ballot. In the first official Doggerland June 2021 Presidential Poll, Joris Jansen was the most popular candidate at 24%, followed by Rune Tien-Liong at 19%, and Melvin Bradley Jr. at 15%.

On June 19, the Independent Liberty Alliance would officially be formed by Joris Jansen and Seth Woods in response to narrowly losing the Freedom Alliance primaries to Barge, with Woods being barred from voting in them entirely.

On June 22, 2021, the second official Doggerland June 2021 Presidential Poll was conducted and Independent Liberty was faced with a major setback, as Joris Jansen would slip in the polls to third place at 18%, behind Rune Tien-Liong and Melvin Bradley Jr., who were each at 24%. This came as a surprise for Woods who had just finished an incredibly popular advertisement campaign for Independent Liberty.

The second round of the June 2021 Presidential Election was held on June 29, 2021. Joris Jansen and Seth Woods of the Independent Liberty Alliance would receive 43.9% of the vote, losing to Rune Tien-Liong and Avery Wagers of the Forward Presidential Alliance with 56.1% of the vote.

July 2021 Legislative Election
The July 2021 Legislative Election took place on July 3, 2021, with Seth Woods running for a seat in the National Assembly for the first time in his home constituency of Mistlân 2nd in Mistlân, Zuidvis. Despite losing the June 2021 Presidential Election just a few days earlier, Woods was riding into this election with newfound popularity as a Vice Presidential candidate, leading to a surge in votes for himself and the Free & Equal Party from the Doggerland Left and Labor Workers' Party. Woods was also endorsed by his friend and former running mate, Joris Jansen, and so Woods easily secured his seat in the National Assembly with 69.0% of the vote. Two new local parties also participated in the race, Frontier Liberty and the Mistlân Koala Party. Prominent Self-Reliance! member, Bent Jansma endorsed the Mistlân Koala Party in this race, leading to a fairly successful first outing for the party.
