David Sinclair

David Peter Sinclair (4 July 1883 - 27 November 1949) was a Jonathian politician, author, and scholar. He was the founder and the first leader of Liberal Party, from the party's founding 1934 to his death in 1949. Between the 1949 election and his death, he was also the Leader of the Opposition.
Often dubbed the "father of Jonathian liberalism", Sinclair was raised by an aristocratic family in Lolland. He soon moved from his hometown to Bellfort, where he was soon influenced by the ideals of liberalism. Sinclair was a strong supporter of the Jonathian independence movement. Between 1924 and 1932, Sinclair was a member of the Republican Party, though he departed due to conflicts with the party's higher-ups. In 1934, Sinclair and several other liberals founded the Liberal Party. Sinclair was its first leader, serving through the 1935, 1937, and 1949 elections. Sinclair would not, however, live to see his party's success at the 1951 elections, passing away from lung cancer in late 1949.
