Politics
Government
Daniel Thorrold has been working in Ministries for most of his e-life. When he first started he focused mainly on the Foreign and Home Ministries and occasionally working in the Ministry of Work. After several months as either an Ambassador, Apprentice or Under Minister Daniel Thorrold became the Cabinet Secretary under Karacticus which was a position that organised Cabinet meetings and sorted out contracts. After a month as this Daniel returned back into working for Ministries. After another few months Daniel was called back to become the Cabinet Secretary for Mr Woldy but since there was no contracts on Erepublik anymore he just had to focus on organising meetings and gathering reports to release.
Again he returned back to working in Ministries but when John Bartlett was elected, Daniel was made the Minister for Communications which was a Sub-Ministry in the parent Ministry, the Ministry of Home Affairs. On the 10th August, four days into being the Minister for Communications, Daniel was made the Minister of Home Affairs due to the then Minister Robalbinio having problems with his computer. Daniel continued as the Minister of Home Affairs into a second month under Jamesw's Cabinet.
GGRyan announced his intention to run for Country President for the October 2010 election. In the days following the announcement Daniel was asked if he'd be happy to serve as GGRyan's Deputy Prime Minister. Accepting the offer, Daniel worked with him during his election campaign, GGRyan was successfully elected into the position of President after receiving 151 votes (42.42%), winning by 55. GGRyan ran for re-election with Daniel Thorrold as his Deputy again, however Jamesw won the election. In the December 2010 Country President Election, Jhorlin ran for President with Daniel Thorrold as his choice for Deputy Prime Minister. Jhorlin won the election with 273 votes (40.99%). In January 2011 he once again was chosen as Deputy Prime Minister by the UK Reform candidate Sir Humphrey Appleby. Frerk won the election winning by 58 votes.
In July 2011, Daniel ran for President with the support of UK Reform. In the election he faced Jamesw, the incumbent President who was supported by Every Single One, The Unity Party and The APP. The results finished in the election with Jamesw winning with 53.26% (351 votes) of the votes, while Daniel received 27.62% (182 votes). He lost the election by a margin of 169 votes. Due to the Impeachement of Jamesw, Daniel decided to take this opportunity and run for President. Throughout the election Daniel led before finishing on 323 votes (50.16%), winning the election. He won by 186 votes, with Horice G Fossil finishing second and McAfee01 in 3rd.
Daniel returned to Ministerial politics with his appointment to the position of Minister of Legislative Affairs in January 2012 under the Presidency of Kravenn.
Presidency
On the 26th July 2011, Jamesw was impeached from the Presidency after a Congress agreement. Due to the impeachment, Daniel who was the runner up in the election, became the 33rd President of the United Kingdom. Although this part of his term was only short, it was moderately successful with a Training War with Belgium set up, a Town Centre Scheme introduced and continued UK dominance over Ireland. It was not until he won the next election and continued his term did things begin to change quite drastically.
The Training War with Belgium continued for another 2 weeks, but was stopped due to the upcoming Congress Elections and an increasingly restless Ireland. The government was keeping Ireland as a country instead of wiping them to ensure that not only does the country benefit from the fruit bonus, but Natural Enemy as well. Soon however things took a turn for the worst and when the region Mayo was hit, a combined EDEN and Terra effort managed to win Ireland the battle, losing the UK initiative. From then on things went from bad to worse, with all regions in Ireland liberated within the next few days. After they were a whole country again they attacked Northern Ireland, succeeding there as well. Now they moved onto Wales, and after winning there hit the West Midlands. By now Resistance Wars were appearing, with some being successful, however the Irish continued their push and hit the South East of England. Now that they had taken this region, they boarded the region of London, one of the few regions never to have fallen. They hit London, the fourth time in its history, but through plenty of help, the UK managed to secure the region. With initiative back and all of it's original regions secure, the UK pushed on to reclaim fruits. By the end of the term, the UK held the Irish regions of Louth and Shannon.
Most of what he had outlined in his manifesto was completed, with a few notable exceptions. One of these was the government site, something which was intended to be a key part of the term. Unfortunately it wasn't completed in time for the end of this term, nor was the forum newsletter due to a few problems. The term itself went relatively smoothly and, despite the struggles with Ireland, fairly successful.
Congress
Daniel Thorrold has been a Congress member seven times for the East of England, three for London and once for Wales, totaling eleven times. Although losing two elections beforehand, he won his first Congress election with 11 votes in August 2009. Afterwards, he won again with 14 votes and for a third time, with 11 votes. In the January 2010 elections, Daniel Thorrold ran as a candidate for The British Empire Party in London and received 85 votes, the third highest in the United Kingdom that month. After the disbandment of The British Empire Party, Daniel ran for Congress in the United Kingdom Reform Party, he was elected in London. After going several months without running for Congress, Daniel decided to run for Congress in November 2010 in London. He was successfully elected as a Wildcard. On the 25th June 2011 Daniel returned to Congress after successfully being elected in the East of England with 9 votes, he returned for a second consecutive term in the East of England receiving 9 votes. His 10th term in Congress was short lived due to the Presidential Election win, meaning he was only a Congress Member for 10 days. After some time out, Daniel returned to politics by being elected in a Congress Seat for the region of Wales. Daniel unsuccessfully ran for Congress in Northern Ireland for the first elections since the UK had been wiped.

Party
Daniel Thorrold has been the party president of The British Empire Party twice. In his first term as party president, the number of members in The British Empire Party more than tripled. Daniel Thorrold also created an external party forum which was a main reason for the parties success. When he first became party president he created a mini 'Cabinet'. The group of members in mini 'Cabinet' helped the growth of the party greatly, this was another reason for The British Empire Party's early success. When his term finished, The British Empire Party had gone from 30 members to 100, gaining 70 members in one month.
He then became Party president again after the December '09 elections. He received 79 votes, winning by 50 votes (60.77%). Soon after Devioux was elected as Party President (January '10), the party was removed, although the reasons are still unknown. Daniel, along with many other party members moved to the United Kingdom Reform Party after a week with no signs of the party coming back. However the party returned a few days later but Daniel and the other members that had moved felt that The British Empire Party was now finished and should be left to drop out of the top 5 political parties. Some prominent members like Lemuel Gengulfus stayed on however and tried to bring the party back but have so far been unsuccessful.
Daniel has been part of the United Kingdom Reform Party since the dissolution of The British Empire Party. In the November 2010 Party Elections, Daniel Thorrold ran for Party President of the party and was contending against Lap12345. Daniel won a clear victory receiving 29 votes, 78.38% of the total votes cast. Daniel ran for a second term the following month and won again by a clear majority, this time receiving 30 votes (93.75%).
Military
Royal Guard
Daniel Thorrold was in The Royal Guard during the time it disbanded. In the Royal Guard for around two months, he had been promoted to Corporal surprisingly three times. During his first time as a Corporal, the Royal Guard went under a reshuffle. He was then quickly promoted again to Corporal only to find out that the whole Royal Guard was to be reset. After the reset, he was once again a Corporal, but not for long. It was disbanded a few weeks later, leaving him in no military branch.
After being out of the military for some time due to being in Congress, he decided to join the stationary ship, HMS Westminster (Previously HMS Daedalus) in The Royal Navy for citizens that are unable to move abroad. After about one month in service to the ship, he was promoted to Lieutenant. After a month as Lieutenant, he was promoted to Captain of HMS Westminster. He continued to serve as the Captain for several months before he decided not to run for Congress again and so was moved to a different ship but for only a short time as he was swiftly moved to the Special Forces Support Group.
On the 27th January 2011, the Royal Navy was brought back into the military along with the RAF. Daniel took up the position as a Captain on the HMS Tom Morgan ship. Later the Royal Navy became one whole group of people with no individual ships, this promoted Daniel to the position of Commodore. After a short while, Daniel left the Royal Navy after accepting the position of Major General in the British Army. One his term had finished as President, Daniel moved into the Commanding Officer position of the Royal Navy, Rear Admiral. He later resigned due to time constraints.
Special Forces Support Group
After his time in the Royal Navy, Daniel Thorrold moved into the Special Forces Support Group. For just over a month he served in this branch before having to leave due to needing to work in a company for the Ministry of Home Affairs to help the Gifting Hub in which he was Under Minister for at the time.
SAS
After finishing a months work in the Gifting Hub company, he moved back into the military. This time however, it was the SAS he joined. In the SAS, he was part of the 22 SAS Armoured Regiment which is for people that chose to be a tank when Erepublik Rising was released. After a while the Military Command decided to merge the SAS into the British Army.
British Army
In the British Army he was part of the 9th/12th Royal Lancers and was promoted to Major, the rank below Lt. Colonel. After around a month in this position, it was announced that the then Lt. Colonel James Woosh was leaving the game, promoting Daniel to Lt. Colonel. After only just under two weeks Daniel was promoted yet again to serve as a Staff Officer (Brigadier) in the newly formed Army Reserves in the Thunder Regiment. Due to changes in the army though, he was moved to the newly created UK Special Forces. After spending some time in the UK Special Forces, Daniel took up a position as a Colonel in the Autobots branch, in charge of the regiment Aerialbots.
Daniel moved back to the British Army on the 5th July 2011 after being offered the Commanding Officer position, Major General. He accepted the job and served in the position until Jamesw was impeached from the position of Presidency. Daniel resigned from his position as Major General to become the 33rd UK President.

Media
Daniel Thorrold is the editor of the The Express. The newspaper has 164 subscribers, making it the 54th most subscribed newspaper in the United Kingdom. The newspaper was formerly called the United Express, Daniel re-branded his newspaper by giving it a new name and logo and now regularly releases articles whereas before it was mainly used for manifestos.
Religion
Daniel has always been a devout Bobloist since he first encountered it's glory. Occasionally venturing into Bob Boblo's House and having bursts of activity, he often would then stop going in that section of the eUK Forum for a few months. In April 2011 Daniel returned to Bob Boblo's House just before Pope Temijin I was impeached. Shortly after the newly elected Pope McAfee I was impeached, Pope Maddog I chose Daniel as one of his Preferati. Though the following day Pope Maddog I was proposed for impeachment and subsequently impeached. The election for the new Pope was between Daniel, Invalidation and Painkiller789. Daniel won the election and became Pope Daniel I on the 27th April 2011 with his two Preferati being Invalidation and Mr Bull.
He was impeached as Pope on the 30th May 2011, just over 1 month as the Pope of Bobloism. The main reason was his loss of enthusiasm after Maddog Jones leaked a spam raid to the targeted forum, though in retaliation Maddog was banned from doing anything in Bob Boblo's House and declared a Dioist. Daniels' successor was Invalidation who was one of his serving Preferati throughout his term as Pope. Due to his skills in finding Dioists, Daniel was made Dio-Founder General of the Spamican Inquisition, where he discovered several Dioists lurking in the House of Bob.
