Candidate Name: Dame Paloma Faith
Home Nation: Icholasen
Biography:Paloma Faith has been Minister of Eurovoice since 2015, and Minister of Eurovoice in Exile since March 2020. Faith is one of the only people in the European Union to hold such a position, and holds significant influence government as a Minister of Eurovoice. She is actually the only person to have been a member of the government since 2015.
In her role as Minister of Eurovoice, Faith has been vigorous in her support of candidates who have done well in Eurovoice, whilst offering some constructive criticism to those who didn't quite make it. Faith was one of only 9 (now 8 due to one being a Communist and expelled from the body) Nonetors, which was the Nicoleizian Upper House under Free Icholasen. She represented Saint Regina. Faith held considerable power and used that power to move the Nicoleizian government into supporting more funding for Eurovoice related projects. Most of which were legal.
Faith has organised 2 Eurovoice shows as Minister of Eurovoice, and is working with the Communist Nicoleizian regime in order to help to organise a third after working to form a Nicoleizian Joint Eurovoice Team with the UNSR and Free Icholasen. Her 2 shows before that had several aspects which some called 'gimmicks' but many people actually enjoyed. Such as the torch relay for the first Eurovoice in Icholasen, and new graphics for the second Eurovoice in Icholasen that she organised.
Faith has demonstrated that she believes Eurovoice is as important to her as life and death (metaphorically, of course) and her support for the rules is just as key. She will make sure everyone keeps to the rules and gets their votes in on time -- or else!!!
