| - This Nearly Real World character is definitively not the same person as User:Cprhodesact, though they may have similar names to a certain extent. [[Image:]] The Rt Hon. Campbell Philip Rhodes, BJ (b. June 30, 1963) is a Georgeland politician, journalist, diplomat and academic who is a former Prime Minister of Georgeland, a former Georgeland Ambassador to the United Nations and a former candidate for the office of President of Georgeland. In 2012 he was elected as Mayor of Santa Christina, his home town. He is the first former Prime Minister to be elected to another political office. Rhodes was the youngest Prime Minister in Georgeland's history. He was also the first bachelor (though he is now married), the first avowed athiest, the first to be Prime Minister three times and (arguably) the first to be dismissed from office by the President. He is also the first Prime Minister to represent more than one political party, having been a member of three during his time in office.Rhodes became Prime Minister on October 20, 1995 and served three seperate periods in office. The first ended on May 13, 1999. The second ran from June 9, 1999 to August 1, 2001, and the third from August 14, 2001 to July 30, 2005. On January 2, 2006, Rhodes was named as Georgeland's new Ambassador to the United Nations, taking office on January 30. On July 4, 2007, he resigned from his post, citing the election of a Conservative government as the reason, stating that he would rather resign than be fired. Rhodes sought and won the nomination of the Liberal Democratic Party of the United Islands as the party's presidential candidate in the 2008 presidential election. The front-runner for much of the campaign, he was narrowly defeated by Lois Daniels on May 2, 2008. He is known in Georgeland by several nicknames, notably The Christo Kid (Rhodes is from Santa Christina), Captain Teflon and Wonder Boy. Conservative detractors have used more derogatory names, including El Presidente and Cammunist. During his time at the UN, Rhodes was often called "Ambassador to Nowhere" by those critical of his appointment.
