Early life
Franklin Victor Barvata was born in Lambertupol in 1968 to mother Catherine Boneva and father Victor Berowalt Barvata. He studied politics and international relations in Lambertupol University.
Political career
During the Great Morstaybishlia#Meremaa Civil War and immediately after graduating from Lambertupol University, Barvata ran as a member of Labour for the Cavenhelm constituency, and beat the Democratic incumbent Johnery Frawldes in 1991. Barvata was a relatively behaved back-bencher. He became the Shadow Minister of Health from 2005 to 2012.
During the Auroran-Pacific War Barvata criticised Johannes for two major things; his "use of soldiers like cannon fodder", a very controversial comment that put Barvata in the spotlight of Morstaybishlian politics, and Johannes' handling of the fragmentation of the two Ethalrian nations which put their successor states into a period of recession. Soon thereafter in August 2017 he won the Labour Leader Election. Criticising Johannes on many accounts since the war, Barvata called a motion of no confidence in September 2017 but it failed to reach a majority of seats in the house. When the next election came around, Barvata campaigned across all four constituent countries and put more effort in his campaigning than both Walter Johannes and Paddy Lukamortz combined, later going on to win the 2019 Great Morstaybishlia General Election with Labour netting 910 seats.
