Born in Sani Bursil, Staynes, Hague graduated from Kingminster University in 1984. Hague is a co-founder of the farmer-to-farmer network and e-commerce platform Morst Farming Nexus, of which since 2010 he has been chief executive. He then co-founded a hedge fund management business Redrugan Capital Management LLP. Since 2016, Hague has been a paid advisor to Embask, a company which he has held considerable shares. Between 2007 and 2013 Hague was a non-executive senior adviser to Ferrus Industries. He has amassed a significant fortune: his estimated net worth from 2010 to 2020 jumped from ♅40 million to ♅300 million. Beginning his career in politics, Hague unsuccessfully contested the 1985 general election before being elected as MP for Chirms Law in a 1987 by-election. Moved thrice for various reasons to Clantby Hills in 1991, West Hills in 1998, and finally Kollidon in the Marsh and Cavenford in 2005; he was reelected twice, on both accounts increasing his seat majority despite crossing the floor in 2012 when he founded the Labour Union, defecting alongside 120 other Conservative MPs and triggering the 2012 general election.

In the 2014 general election, the Conservative Party was the biggest party in a hung parliament. Prime Minister Walter Johannes formed a Conservative-Farmers Union coalition, surpassing the three seat deficit with 15 additional Farmer Union seats. Hague's party became increasingly unpopular in coalition as it failed to emphasise its distinct values and achievements, while defending the overall coalition record. Following the Auroran-Pacific War and the handling of the breakup of the Matriarchy of Ethalria, members of the Farmers Union rebelled against Hague and voted for a successful motion of no confidence with a majority of just one. Parliament was dissolved on 8 November 2017. Hague and the other 14 Farmers Union MPs failed to defend their seats. On 11 January 2018 the party was dissolved.

Hague rejoined the Conservative Party in January 2019, where it became known he was a candidate for the Lurby and Shepping constituency for the 2019 general election following Andrew Brown's retirement. He won and has been a Conservative backbencher since.
