As Father of the House, he has served as MP for Fort Jubrayn for his entire political career from 1956, the longest ever, and became the first 90-year old, and then 100-year old Member of Parliament to Kalmington.

Rothgerus was the secondary Leader of the Opposition from 1987 until 1991, and then the primary Leader of the Opposition from 1991 until 1996, the longest serving opposition leader in Morstaybishlian history.

Rothgerus beat ~~Labour~~ veteran Charles Mason-Smith at the 1987 ~~Labour~~ leadership election to replace former Prime Minister [[Donald Kreitser]]. As opposed to Mason-Smith, Rothgerus had no government experience, yet won a comfortable majority over Mason-Smith who was too 'soft-left' for the party at the time. Rothgerus campaigned against Morstaybishlian involvement in the [[Meremaa Civil War]], exposed the Delari government for war crimes which led to the collapse of the Delari administration and the 1991 general election, and pushed for a public inquiry and war reparations.

Rothgerus beat Progress veteran Charles Mason-Smith at the 1987 Progress leadership election to replace former Prime Minister [[Donald Kreitser]]. As opposed to Mason-Smith, Rothgerus had no government experience, yet won a comfortable majority over Mason-Smith who was too 'soft-left' for the party at the time. Rothgerus campaigned against Morstaybishlian involvement in the [[Meremaa Civil War]], exposed the Delari government for war crimes which led to the collapse of the Delari administration and the 1991 general election, and pushed for a public inquiry and war reparations.

In the buildup to the 1991 general election, Rothgerus led the polls and was set to win a landslide. However, policy stances on green-energy, including replacing coal with [[Wikipedia:Nuclear power|nuclear power]] and [[Wikipedia:Renewable energy|renewable energy]]; as well as his progressive social policies were seen as too radical and outweighed his outlined fiscal and constitutional reforms, which garnered much support. Consquently, ~~Labour~~ made net gains but the election resulted in a [[Wikipedia:Hung parliament|hung parliament]]. The [[~~MBE Conservatives~~|~~Conservatives~~]] and [[MBE Liberals|Liberals]] formed a coalition, with the ~~Conservatives~~ and ~~Labour~~ both overtaking the [[~~MBE~~ ~~Democrats~~|~~Democrats~~]] in seats. Here Rothgerus became the primary Opposition Leader. Historians attribute his powerful presence and consisitent pressure at governmental flaws at Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) as the primary reason the ~~Conservatives~~' single seven year term saw three successive prime ministers.

Rothgerus won the [[1998 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|1998 general election]] with a comfortable 59-seat majority, and became the oldest [[Prime Ministers of Great Morstaybishlia|prime minister in MBE history]] at 77, beating [[Wilton Lavel]] who was 72 when he became prime minister in 1929. Rothgerus left office at 84 in his [[2005 Great Morstaybishlia General Election|2005 electoral defeat]], but became the first and only [[Leader of the Labour Party (MBE)|~~Labour~~ prime minister]] to expend a full seven-year term.

Rothgerus's administration was known for its vast constitutional reforms, including the most famous, the Representation of the People Act 2000, which lowered the voting age of women from 25 to 18, men from 21 to 18, allowed all sentient species the right to vote (where previously the law restricted voting citizens to humans and elves), and removed double-member constituencies and university seats. The Parliament Act 2001 saw the removal of the right of veto from the Peers except on bills to extend the life of parliament. Rothgerus, through the Life Peerages Act 2002 and the Peerage Act 2003, allowed for women and non-humans the right to sit and vote in the House of Peers, and enabled Peers to disclaim their peerages in order to stand for election in the House of Representatives. Rothgerus championed gay rights and multiculturalism, a theme he persued through the 1980s in opposition and in government. Immigration rose from 1998, and refugee programs saw millions of Vulpines flee from [[Vekaiyu]] under the iron-fist dictatorship of [[Max Venavle]]. In 2003 he legalised same-sex marriage and inter-species marriage. Rothgerus was instrumental to bolstering nuclear power production, beginning the construction of 48 nuclear power plants in his term, most of which were finished after his term ended between 2013 and 2020. Alongside nuclear power, Rothgerus implemented laws promoting businesses to reduce coal emissions in favour of renewable energies.
