Biography
Political career
John Bartlett was born on Day 503 of the New World. He soon became a member of the Radical Freethinkers Alliance. In June 2009 Bartlett ran for and won a seat in Congress for the East of England. In September 2009 Bartlett became Minister of Information and Education under GLaDOS, a post he held for less than a month, until it was abolished. He then became the first Minister of Legislative Affairs and stood in this position until December.
He later left RFA for People's Communist Party.
Ambassador career
In July 2009 Bartlett joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs becoming both an apprentice and the UK ambassador to Canada. In September he became UK ambassador to the ALA under the Minister of Foreign Affairs Michael Collins.
Presidency
In April 2010 John ran for president for the first time. Although a member of the One Of Its Kind party, the candidacy was supported by PCP so JB got over 20% of votes and finished third. He didn't run again until August, when he was supported by four out of six biggest parties (PCP, RFA, UKRP and TRD). He held a small but steady lead over his main rival jamesw throughout the voting day and became the first PCP president since Kumnaa 14 months earlier.
During JB's first day as president, his account was hacked and a lot of battles were started. This prompted jamesw to start an impeachment vote. It soon became clear, though, that his was not a ragequit but an actual hack (when other presidents started behaving similarly). jamesw issued an apology and JB announced that jamesw did what he thought was best for the country at the moment. Hacker actions were reverted. On the 23rd August, John Bartlett's resignation was confirmed after the requested impeachment was passed.
