abstract	Albert Tonks was elected to Parliament in 3327. Prior to his election to Parliament, Tonks was a well-known journalist and academic. He taught at at least 11 different institutions, specializing in marine biology and international relations, before his election to Parliament. Following the defeat of the Liberals in 3331, Malcolm Gipson and his entire cabinet announced that none of them would contest the vacant leadership spots. After receiving significant encouragement, Tonks ran for and won the leadership. He led on every ballot and ultimately won by just under 2%. His early leadership was difficult because he did not achieve a win in the parliamentary caucus portion of the leadership election. In fact, he only won the leadership because of his larger than expected victory in the party membership section. When the writs were dropped for the 3335 elections, Tonks spoke honestly about his chances for victory. During the leader's debate, Tonks acknowledged that the Liberals were poised to lose seats. He continued to campaign and speak about what he wanted to do as Prime Minister. As the results came in, it became clear that both the presidential and legislative elections would be close. Ultimately, Madison Song was defeated in her bid for the presidency by 1.6%. The Liberals also lost eight seats in Parliament but managed to hold a plurality of seats. It took just over a month for Tonks to form a government in which he served as Prime Minister. In 3339, the Liberals made massive gains and won the presidency, however, just months after the elections, Tonks was ousted in a leadership coup.
