Maeve Anderson

**Maeve Anderson** (April 19, 1992 -) was an Avalonian stateswoman and politician who served as the third Väldeminister of Avalonia between September 27, 2013 and September 27, 2021, as Energy Secretary of Avalonia between September 27, 2021 and September 27, 2025 under the premiership of Marcus Jørgensen, and was been a Labour Member of Parliament in the Riksdag from September 27, 2021 until June 13, 2044 with the banning of the Labour party, after which she sat as an independent; Anderson had previously served as an MP between September 27, 2009 and September 27, 2013.

Entering the Riksdag as a Member of Parliament following the 2009 General election, Maeve Anderson became one of the most progressive members of the house for the Labour party and used this ideological position to appeal to the public as an energetic and youthful alternative to the establishment government of Väldeminister Owen Peters and Prime Minister Jennifer Friedrickson. Anderson repeatedly led the Labour party in parliament to resist numerous bills and laws which the progressive wing of the party argued didn't go far enough to help the public, and would go on to place herself forward for the 2013 Labour electoral nomination.

After defeating the incumbent Väldeminister Owen Peters in the 2013 Väldeminister election, Labour party candidate Maeve Anderson stormed to power on the back of a generation who desired a return of Avalonia to the world stage after decades of isolationism. Unable to carry parliament with her electoral victory, Anderson became close allies with Prime Minister Jennifer Friedrickson, with the pair only coming to friction over more contentious issues like the 2014 Eurozone Referendum and the revoking of the National Living Wage in 2016. By setting a precedent for bipartisan collaboration, the premiership of Väldeminister Maeve Anderson managed to inspire a generation of free thinkers and liberals during her 8 year premiership, and remained at the forefront of the national zeitgeist for a decade after she left office. Retaining the Labour party nomination into the 2017 Väldeminister election, Anderson also managed to overturn the Liberal Socialist majority in Parliament, placing Matti Vanhanen as Prime Minister. With a Labour party member in both major offices of state, Anderson was able to pass through a bulk of legislation, entering the N20 in 2018 and passing through flagship polices to decrease the size of the Avalonian Mercantile Navy by 10% between 2019 and 2021.

After declining to run for a third term, Väldeminister Maeve Anderson was replaced in 2021 by former secretary of the interior Marcus Jørgensen after the 2021 Väldeminister election, carrying parliament too under the leadership of Tuula Haatainen who took over from Matti Vanhanen in late 2021. Returning to parliament in September 2021 having won a seat in the 2021 election, Maeve Anderson became a part of the Jørgensen administration as the Energy Secretary and was tasked with producing new means of sustainable green energy for the nation, before returning to the opposition benches of parliament in 2025 when Liberal Socialist candidate Ada Nilsen won election in the 2025 Väldeminister election.
