CatusStarbright (often known as Catus or Cactus Far-right or the old woman) is a Citizen's Party MP and Deputy Leader, currently serving as Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons. She is a former Deputy Leader of the Libertarian Party and Secretary of State for Justice.
== Early Career (April 2017 - present) ==
Catus joined the MHoC in April 2017, stating that "I'm not looking for a major commitment, but want to start getting involved in a minor capacity." She opted to join the Libertarian Party. For seven months she was inactive but when she got back involved in November 2017, she quickly rose up the ranks, becoming an MP and replacing Joep95 as Deputy Leader of the party. Following the resignation of Saunders16 in January 2018, she was elected Leader.
== Libertarian Party (January 2018 - November 2018) ==
Catus served as leader of the Libertarian Party from January 2018 until November 2018.
== Independent (November 2018 - April 2020) ==
In November 2018, Catus left the Libertarian Party to continue as an independent. After serving a brief stint in government under a Tory administration, she was elected Deputy Speaker, replacing Jammy Duel.
== Citizen's Party (April 2020 - Present) ==
Following the creation of the Citizen's Party, which she helped found, Catus was elected Deputy Leader in April 2020
== Political views ==
Catus has a centre-left social stance. She supports gay marriage, is pro-choice rather than pro-life, and doesn't agree with the death penalty. Economically, she's centre-right. Catus believes the government should aim to cut public spending in order to reduce the deficit and tentatively with privatising the NHS in the belief that competition for government funding would raise the standard of care patients receive.
