David Wrightson

David Dennis Hastert-Wrightson, KCB, QC (born 8 August 2016) is a British Conservative pelican and former prosecutor. He served as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor under the Beauclerk Ministry before becoming Prime Minister on two seperate occasions, winning a total of two general elections in his tenures. He previously served as the Director of Public Prosecutions in late early 2020, succeeding Grischka Bogdanoff.

Wrightson is the son of his now deceased father Gerald Wrightson.

Legal career
Called to the Bar in 2019, Wrightson started practice as a barrister; he was appointed Queen's Counsel later that year. Wrightson joined the Crown Prosecution Service and was later appointed as Director of Public Prosecutions in late 2019. In 2020 he founded Wrightson Chambers, which has been regarded as the home to some of the most prolific barristers in the United Kingdom.

His cases have included successfully defending the Crown on an appeal against JosephECross' conviction of undue discharge and open carry (R (Respondent) v JosephECross (Appellant) [2019], on appeal from the Magistrates' Court); representing AugustusAlmaniyan in a judicial review against the Electoral Commission (R (Almaniyan) v Electoral Commission [2020] EWHC 9 (Admin)); and succesfully prosecuting on behalf of the Crown on a matter of high treason (R v IrishSpark [2020]). He is also acredited to organising and being involved in bringing prosecutions against members of the terrorist group YKEE.

Political Career
Wrightson was first elected as a Member of Parliament for Bromley & Chislehurst under the Beauclerk ministry. He served as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor, and was notable for his outspoken criticism of the Prime Ministers plan to codify the constitution of the United Kingdom. He later resigned over the matter and was elected as Speaker of the House of Commons days later. Upon the resignation of Devin Beauclerk, he joined the Conservative Party and stood as a candidate in the leadership elections. He defeated omadan with a clear majority and was asked by Her Majesty the Queen to form a Government moments later. His first ministry is mostly regarded for the decision to hold the position of Secretary of State for Defence in abeyance and grant the British Armed Forces more autonomy. After just less than two weeks in office he resigned citing perseonal reasons to do so. Joshua Capeton succeeded him as Leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister, and elevated Wrightson to the House of Lords.

After the succesful leadership challenge initiated by Lord Lisvane (now Viscount St Davids) against Capeton as Leader, Wrightson renounced his membership of the Lords and stood as a candidate for the Conservative Party in the March by-election. Following the collapse of Capetons minority Government and Wrightsons earlier repeal of the Fixed-Terms Parliament Act 2019, Her Majesty the Queen invited the Leader of the Labour Party, Yeiios, to form a Government. Lisvane later resigned, and Wrightson stood as a candidate to succeed him. Wrightson was elected days after, and sources close to him claim he was somewhat unwilling to take the role. Wrightson was probing in his tenure as Leader of the Opposition and has been cited as a substantial contributing factor for then Prime Ministers Yeiios' resignation. As Wrightsons son, Cameron Wrightson, was elected as Yeiios' successor, Her Majesty invited the Conservative Party leader to form a Government. This decision was publicised during a House of Commons sitting, which saw the Speaker of the House of Commons suspend the House momentarily as all Members of Parliament were having to swap benches. As he announced his cabinet, he vowed that he would work to prevent executive overreach and work towards making agencies more autonomous. After just days in office, he oversaw the rise of the terrorist gang YKEE, and assembled a special cabinet which saw individuals such as the Chief of Defence Staff and the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Service attending. During his endeavours in tackling YKEE he was critical of the Development Team for its failure to act upon the Governments wishes, such as creating a trello-based prison system for convicted individuals. After the gang was disbanded, he introduced a series of anti-terror legislation, most controversially the Terrorism (Public Services) Act 2020, which restricts convicted terrorists from joining public services for a period of two weeks, commencing from the date of their conviction. Outspoken critics of the Act include former Member of Parliament and journalist Trevor368, who was prevented from joining such agencies having been a member of the gang.Wrightson, along with the First Parliamentary Counsel, Lord Lisvane, is often accredited for his reforms to the legislative archives, introducing legislation to simplify and clean-up the statute book, with legislation such as the Legislation (Clean-Up) Act 2020. His work to grant autonomy to more agencies has arguably been the most controversial aspect of his second ministry, with legislation such as the Police and Crime Commission Act 2020 recieving divided opinion.

Wrightson announced his intention to resign on 23 May 2020, triggering a leadership contest within the Conservative Party.

Wrightson is considered to be one of the best Prime Ministers to hold the office, a claim he dismisses.

Quotes
"'Let this House be of full knowledge that through each of my tenures, I have endeavoured to be reasonable. Unfortuantely, in this age of hounding press my strongest critics interpret that as being unreasonably reasonable.'"In a speech to the House of Commons announcing his resignation, 23 May 2020.

Personal life and other activities
Wrightson lived with his son, Cameron Wrightson, in Number 10 Downing Street until his resignation.
