Early Life
Moriarty discovered Erepublik on the 4th of July, 2011. Originally, he was only online occasionally, so not much can be said about his early life. However, he did join the APP that month and began his own newspaper, The Scottish Independent. It wasn't until late August that he truly began playing the game.

Moriarty had joined the APP at a crucial time. Dante Simly was beginning a transition from the dying APP party to a new, more robust party. It was at this time that Moriarty began activity on the forums, and so he played a major role in this transition. However he voted against the name, UKDP, being more in favor of "the Real Democrats". This was later suggested by Moriarty to be the name of the party newspaper. He designed the logo for both the party and its Military Unit, the UKDP Armed Brigade, which he also supplied gold for. On the 5th of September he ran for party president, but was narrowly beaten by Joshua Whelan. Moriarty continued with the party, remaining active. On the 25th of September he ran as the UKDP's only official candidate in Scotland, with his presentation being presented in a game first called Prezi. He was successful, as was party president Joshua Whelan, earning a wildcard place with 18 votes. His time in congress was largely uneventful, with him only ever chipping in once or twice.
On the 5th of October he ran for Party President of the UKDP. Against small opposition he romped to victory, with 18 votes.
Party Presidency
The demise of The UK Democratic Party
With the arrival of the UKPP, it was never going to be long until the UKDP left the top 5. Numerous factors helped cause this. Many people left the UKRP to join the UKPP, who soon surpassed the UKDP. UK population on a whole fell, and with no chance of getting congress people started leaving. Moriarty decided to leave after Eno Live effectively took over the party, but remained in touch with his former party colleagues through the Military Unit, the UKDP Armed Brigade.
