Career
Micronational
Polonia
David Hawthorne joined Polonia when it was still named Matachewan around June 2020 in the Miller administration. David was first appointed to the Grand Sejm of Polonia but was later removed days before the Premier election which he contested but lost narrowly to Christina Nowell. As he was out of office for the whole Nowell administration he did nothing but prepare for the next election where he contested a Sejm seat but lost and went on a hiatus. The Smith administration took office after this election as well.
During the end of the Smith administration he founded the Semi-Conservative Party of Polonia and was part of a coalition with contained Solidarity Party of Polonia, Patriotic Front of Polonia, Christian Conservative Party, and the Cynical Party of Polonia also briefly was in the coalition. The coalition was headed by Chris Miller and the goal was to take back the Premier office from the Labour Party of Polonia. During the campaigning period for the next general election his party merged with the Christian Conservative Party to form the Conservative League of Polonia. The coalition succeeded in it's goal. David Hawthorne also was elected to a seat in the Sejm.
During the Miller administration David Hawthorne was appointed to the post of Minister of Economic Development. He later resigned from this post so that a local could take office. The coalition was still running but the Conservative League left the coalition because it's purpose had already been achieved. During the next general election David was re-elected to the Sejm and his part gained 3 seats. Xavier Jackson was also elected to his first term in a landslide victory over David and Robert Smith. During Xavier's first term his party adopted a new logo and grew in membership. The next general election happened and David Hawthorne came in third place for the Premier election barely getting less votes then Robert Smith. Xavier Jackson won the election with one more vote then Robert Smith. His party also lost a seat in the Sejm. Polonia later was dissolved by the King Brandon Mierzwa.
