Brandon Ly

Brandon Ly Wai-chuen MP (Chinese: 李偉銓; Cantonese Yale: Léih Wáih-chyùhn; July 28, 20XX – January 20, MPSP2024) is a model parliamentarian who is the current Curator of the National Archives as of MPSP2023. He was first elected to Model Parliament in the same year for the riding of Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine as a member of the Seal Party of Canada. Before being elected, he was a professional Wikipedian and rhythm game player for a game called osu!.
== Personal life & education ==
Ly was born to a middle-to-lower-class family in Gatineau, Quebec. He moved to Ottawa at 11 and started attending school there shortly after. It was there that he found his enjoyment in editing Wikipedia. After graduating from Merivale High School, he moved to the Magdalen Islands, where he could edit peacefully without outside world disruptions. This was also where he could continue honing his skills in osu!, the rhythm game in which he was a professional player. He was known for his playstyle, which consisted of playing the game on a couch. However, after feeling sick of the sea, he moved back to his hometown of Gatineau, settling in his old neighbourhood of Aylmer.
During the second day of MPSP2023, he was proposed to in by then-Deputy Prime Minister Ian Reid in the House of Commons but was unable to respond to him after hours of tribulation in the House. However, as Leader of the Official Opposition, Ly took the time to remind MPs of that event and accepted his proposal. They were officially married by Governor General Keith de Silvia-Legault in the Senate of Canada.
== Political career ==
Ly had always shown some form of interest in politics but never considered entering federal politics; he was content living his life on the Magdalen Islands. However, he was approached by Callum Wintle to join the Seal Party of Canada in MPSP2023, and happily obliged after he heard of the party's platform.

He contested the seat of Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine, where a margin of 637 votes elected him. He ran on a platform of towing the party line and protecting all seals in his riding. During this year, he laid low, not being too vocal in the House of Commons. He was a part of the Committee on the Recognition of the Provisional State of Belgium.
