Early Life
Youmaton (otherwise known as Youma) was born in urban Canberra. Not much is known about their early years, but during their childhood they found an interest in social politics, the inequalities that people faced and the ways that they could be fixed. After many years of research and work, they found out they were truly left wing and extremely progressive.

Youmaton joined the Labor Party a few days after its founding in the March of 2018. A strong willed and politically active member, they quickly rose through the ranks to the position of Head of Affairs. Youmaton is the Labor party candidate for Canberra, and was de-facto elected (on the grounds of no competition) after nominations closed.

ABC Electoral Analyst and Reporter
During the April 2018 Election, there was a major lack of information getting around in terms of polling and electorate placement. In response to the former, both Toby and Youmaton joined together to provide coverage of the election. Inspired by Antony Green, Youmaton used all avaliable trends and statistics in order to provide a comprehensive electoral coverage of the election.

May 2018 Election
Just prior to the May 2018 General Election, Youmaton was elected as leader of the Labor party. As such, they lead the party into this election, promising tax reform and increased funding to social services. Youmaton ran for the seat of Melbourne, in which they lost to Numjam in a close vote. Youmaton was subsequently elected to the legislative council due to the high labor vote, giving the Platformist / Labor / ABT alliance a majority in the upper house.

Political Views
Youmaton is a self described democratic socialist, primarily focused on extremely progressive social policy. Big influences in political thought are figures such as Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn,.
