Richard Summerson

Richard Fredrick Summerson (born July 7th, 1976) is the incumbent Prime Minister of Airedalandia. He was first elected in 2010, and since then he has been re-elected to a second term. He is almost in the dead centre of the political spectrum, being an advocate of both favourable conditions (low taxes) for corporations to grow and universal healthcare and education. On the basis of these values, Summerson has increased funding for the Airedalandian Ministry of Health and the Airedalandian Ministry of Education. His government also has created the 'Smartspark' initiative to allow businesses to grow by allowing new businesses to be exempt from all taxes for 5 years.

Currently, he has a respectable approval rating of approximately 75%.
