After running in February, Darkmantle successfully got voted into Scotland with the highest amount of votes in that region. He also dedicated much time to help direct the Congress votes for the UKRP, as he did for a total of 4 months. Darkmantle served 4 terms as a Congressman in Scotland, but failed to be elected for a 5th turn due to Scotland being taken in a Military Maneuver during a war. He was then reinstated as a Congressman of Scotland in July 2010.

In both August and September, Darkmantle was elected into Congress as a representative for London. During these 2 months, he continued his work within the legislative body of the United Kingdom, before retiring from UK politics. He returned in December and was successfully elected back into Scotland during the January elections. He has continued to be elected within Scotland since then until he left the UK.

Darkmantle was elected into the US Congress in May 2012 however was busy with his Secretarial work and failed to participate fully. He was then elected into the meta Congress at the end of July 2013 where he worked with Congress on bringing forward ideas for USAF reform, although due to the loss of regions there was no in-game Congress.

Cabinet

United Kingdom

Ministry of Technology

During the majority of the September 2010 presidential term, Darkmantle served in Jamesw's cabinet as the Minister of Technology. During this time he finished working on the Military Hub while developing a government applications system for all future UK CP Candidates and Ministers to use. He continued to aid the Ministry of Technology, his main working being on the UK Military Hub and Tools website, before being hired once again as Minister of Technology by Jhorlin for this Presidential Term of February 2011. Darkmantle held the position for one month, where he started the development of multiple new systems.

Ministry of Legislative Affairs

Darkmantle was appointed MoLA for the first time upon the election of GGRyan as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Due to emergency family issues that occurred not even a week into his term, Darkmantle had to resign due to real life issues. He has stayed on as a Legislative Advisor to the Cabinet under GGRyan, with Mr Woldy taking his place as Minister of Legislative Affairs. Darkmantle was once again appointed Minister of Legislative Affairs a year later, however, had to resign again once again due to real life problems.

United States of America

Secretary of Technology

Darkmantle was appointed SecTech by Artela during her first term as POTUS. He was then appointed for 3 further consecutive terms, working alongside the USA Cabinet to create various projects, the largest of which was a US Government website to centralize all the data and schemes. This was a large project and never met completion, due to his resignation.

Secretary of Defense

Darkmantle served as the Secretary of Defense from August - October 2013. During this time the DoD team worked hard to create a healthy culture of a joint USAF by increasing inter-branch communication. They worked on bridging the gap between the executive and the USAF by ensuring that all policies were open for discussion by the CO's and XO's of each branch before implementation, and that they also get a decision on whether or not a policy is put into place. He also worked on optimising their commune structure to reduce budget, and his team worked hard to ensure that USAF policies were effectively implemented by the branches.

Party Politics

UKRP

Party Leadership

Darkmantle was, for 4 months, the person who led the Congressional Direction team. During his terms as Congressional Director he had both successful and unsuccessful results with this, due to the constantly changing political landscape. He was also Vice Party president under Steve Steinbeck, where he assisted in the running of the party, and paved the way for him to become Party president after Steve stepped down from the leadership.

Party president

Darkmantle has had 3 terms as Party president of the United Kingdom Reform Party. His first month was noticeably his best, where he managed with the help of the other members, to achieve the highest amount of Congressional seats for the UKRP in 2010, a total of 12. His second month was, unfortunately, not as good. Due to other issues going on both eRepublik and not, Darkmantle was around less, as were some of his Party Leaders. The UK saw a drop in members from all parties and on a national level, which in turn affected the great recruitment that had been having since March. Near the end of his 2nd term, Darkmantle resigned and allowed Dishmcds to take over so that he could focus on the other aspects of his life.

Darkmantle returned to the UK in November 2012 to aid the UKRP who had fallen out of the Top 5. During his time there he was once again elected as Party President and during his term, the party managed to return to the Top 5 with a large recruitment campaign. .

USWP

While living in the USA, Darkmantle was a member of the United States Workers Party. Although not an active member, he does contribute by supporting both the party and it's candidates in the various elections, and has run for Congress under their banner.
