Alun Hugh Cairns is a UKIP politician, who has been Deputy Leader of the Party since early 575. He has represented his home region of the Vale of Glamorgan, a semi-rural area of Cartria, in the Chamber of Deputies since 571. He previously was a member of the Free Liberal Party and unsuccessfully stood for election during the 567 Election on behalf of the Party.
== Background ==
He was born to a traditional working class family in the rural area Gower within the Vale of Glamorgan (Cartria) where he was raised by his parents along with his two siblings. His father owned a local store which focused upon the sale of goods from the local steelworks.
He attended the University of Tarbanos after being awarded a full scholarship due to his talents for mathematics. After achieving his degree he moved back to the Gower and spent the next few years working an adviser on rural affairs to the Catrian State Government.
== Political Career ==
Cairns became politically active during his late 20s and joined the Free Liberal Party just before the 567 election when it broke away from the Federal Liberal Party. He was 57th on the Party's list and narrowly missed out on his seat after the party only earned enough votes to win 56 seats.
In late 569 he left the Free Liberals claiming ideological differences and the erratic leadership of Alexander Blackworth. He served as an independent political commentator on numerous Empire-wide radio shows and penned many articles for Newspapers all over the Empire.
With the 571 election approaching he confirmed that would contest his home constituency of the Vale of Glamorgan for UKIP. He was successful and was one of the 36 new MPs election for his party during this election. He was subsquently reelected in 575.
With long term leader Angela Merkel standing down before the election new UKIP Leader Amber Rudd appointed him as Deputy Leader of the party shortly before the 575 election. This was seen as an effort by Rudd to broaden the parties appeal to the more rural areas of the Empire which due to a fear their position there was being encroached by both the FCRP and FMP.
