## Political History

Swapardeshi voted 'yes' to a bill on July 13th 2021 which would remove the ability from the Emperor and Marquis of the Pomor's Strait to block constitutional amendments. She cited that this ability reminds her of veto powers, which she is against.

She voted 'yes' on July 21st 2021 to annex Reike Eisoux (Ryke Yseøyane) into the Realm of Easway.

She voted 'yes' on July 28th 2021 for the Government - Armed Forces Constitutional Change, which resulted in former Grand Marshal Hellmut resigning from the position to continue serving in his party as Chief.

She voted 'yes' to the Seven Masts Bill on August 24th 2021, which added the Emizerri's new philosophy into the constitution.

She voted in favour of the Bill to Ban Fascism & Communism within Easway on September 7th 2021.

On November 11th 2021, she returned to Easway after a short period of exile. She has decided to stand for the December 2021 Council Elections. She is campaining for a bill which will guarantee the right to freedom of thought, cognitive freedom and mental privacy.

On December 16th 2021, Swapardeshi was accused by the Emperor of leaking private government documents to foreign powers using the social media platform Discord.

She stood for the December 2021 Directorial Elections as a candidate for the Director for Housing & Community on Bear Island but lost to Sage of the Homonationalist Party of Easway after a tie of the electorate led to a vote in the Long Palace, which she came second with 5 votes to 8.

She then briefly stood as the first Prefect of Kvalrossbukta from December 21st to December 22nd 2020, before her appearance before the High Court of Easway, which saw her permanently banished from the Realm the same day.

## Banishment

Deshi had many clashes with the administration and citizens of Easway in the past, which had led to her previous exile from public life. People often felt uncomfortable about alledged harassment, such as storing personal details of top-level officials. She was given a pardoning by the Emperor, as she promised to improve her behaviour. This did not occur, as she would constantly misuse the forums of Easway to break laws such as spamming other citizens and sending unwanted messages. The structure of how Easway's forums were managed had to be altered to accommodate Swapardeshi so that she could not break laws so easily. This eventually was too much for people and administrators of Easway and all her past transgressions were taken into account in the final sentencing before the High Court, which voted to permanently banish her from the Realm - 3 votes for 'yes', 0 votes for 'no', with 4 abstentions.

## Political Personality

Deshi was renowned by other high ranked persons in Easway of being one to not be underestimated. Time and time again, it was shown that Deshi acted independently in the background but often succeeding in the wanted bills without much opposition. Her charisma could be sourced to one member of the Government (Etchasketch) describing her as "someone who can take a joke" and various others describing her political philosophy as something based in truth and enlightenment.

She is though not free from controversy. She was shortly exiled from Easway during late September and October of 2021 by the Imperial Council and Police Chiefs for direct clashes with the Emperor and Citizens on personality differences, but was allowed back through a vote in November, re-entering Easway on November 11th. The Emizerri kept contact with her during this time, to ensure rehabilitation to the Easwegian culture would be possible. The Emizerri stated on November 4th "differences have been resolved."

Her political personality could not save her from justice although, with the High Courts taking into account only her transgressions and not her political experience when they voted to banish her from the Realm on December 22nd 2021.

## Personal Life

Deshi was a member of the "League of Centrists", a private club ran by the Emizerri, which acts as an inner circle rewarded to pragmatic and balanced free thinkers. The Emperor permanently suspended her membership when she was banished.
