Andrew Jack Tabor (born February 1, 1969) is a Gjorkan politician and leader of the National Social Party and a member of the National Assembly for Éire since 2011. He first ran for president in 2006, and has since ran in 2011, 2016, and in 2021.

Since his entrance in politics in in 1993, Tabor has an active voice in the Gjorkan far-right. Tabor was elected as a Éire City Council member in 1993 as a member of Gjorka United. He was expelled from the party in 1996 for a statement in he made in the city council calling Khoroshiyans "murders and thieves", a statement he was popularized since. In 2001 he founded the National Social Party, and successfully ran for a seat in the Northern Gjorka Senate in 2003. Tabor's national spotlight was gained in the 2006 presidential election where Tabor participated in the first presidential debate. Despite earning less than 1% of the vote in the election, Tabor used the debate to boost his national image in preparation for the 2011 Gjorkan National Assembly election where his party won seats for the first time earning 3. However, Tabor's major boost was in the 2016 Gjorkan presidential election and the 2016 Gjorkan National Assembly election where he and his party came in third for both elections winning 4.1% of the presidential vote and 10 seats in the National Assembly. In 2020, Tabor announced he was once again running for president in the 2021 election. Tabor secured his best ever result winning 11.1% of the popular vote. On long with his presidential success, Tabor led his party to winning 26 seats in the National Assembly election.

Early life

Tabor was born February 1, 1969 in Éire, Gjorka to parents Kent and Laura Tabor. His father Kent was a wealthy businessman who owned a variety of business, most prominently a IRA Lumber, the largest lumber producer in Northern Gjorka. According to Tabor's sister Gilly, Kent Tabor was an abusive father who focused much of his rage on her older sibling Andrew. On night in 1984, Kent Tabor came home and began abusing Andrew's mother Laura and his young brother Drew Tabor. Andrew reportedly decided to act against his father, and strangled him to death. He was not arrested by police on account he was a minor, and was acting in defense of others.

From 1988 to 1992, Tabor attended Ezarton University, a private university in Elkton known for its conservative curriculum. It was at Ezarton he met Enya Melanson, and the two fell in love. Tabor married Melanson in 1991. Tabor briefly attended Ezarton Law School in 1993 before dropping out to run for Éire city council.

Early career

In July of 1993, two months after dropping out of Ezarton Law School, Tabor announced his campaign for Éire City Council, challenging two term incumbent Joe Frost for seat in the council, both men were members of Gjorka United. At the time, Tabor was relatively unknown in local politics, but using a grassroots and door to door visits Tabor was able to spread awareness of his campaign. This strategy worked as Tabor managed to upset Frost and win the council seat 39.9% to Frost's 39.3% in what the Éire Daily Tribunal called the "greatest upset in Éire political history". During his time in the city council, Tabor repeatedly espoused far-right political views such as the calling for a city ban on foreign immigrants to calling for mandatory nationalist education in local schools.

Following his re-election in 1996, in Tabor's opening statement to the council he took a harsh stance against Khoroshiyans living in Éire. In his speech he called for the city council to ban Khoroshiyans from moving to Éire, and declare the city as "sanctuary city for Non-Khoroshiyans". As for Khoroshiyans already living in Éire called from them to either integrate into Gjorkan culture or be banished from the city. The speech is the first documented time Tabor would used the phrase "murders and thieves" in regards to Khoroshiyans, a phrase he would later popularize. Following the speech, Tabor was censured by the city council and expelled from Gjorka United. A vote to expel Tabor from the city council was narrowly defeated. He attempted to use the media attention of the speech to launch a campaign for Mayor of Éire in 1996, but ultimately dropped out due to financial restraints. Tabor continued to serve in the council until his resignation in 2003 to join the Northern Gjorka Senate

Founding the PSN

In 2001, Tabor announced he and other local far-right politicians across Gjorka were founding a new political party known as the National Social Party (PSN) in the lead up to the 2021 National Assembly election. Notable founders include Elkton city councillor Pádraig Coppinger, former Mayor of Baltimore Winston Faringe, and Northern Gjorka Senator Ken Horatio. The founding gained national notoriety as the first right-wing to far-right political party in Gjorka to hold multiple seats since One Nation dissolved in 1989. The party secured around 1.5% of the vote in the 2001 election, but was unable to secure any seats.

The next election the party participated in was the 2003 Northern Gjorka Senate election where Tabor along with 10 other candidates from the party won seats. Tabor's tenure in the Northern Gjorka Senate was similar to that of his council council tenure, calling for immigration restriction and nationalistic policies but this time on a district wide scale. Tabor again led the party in the 2006 Northern Gjorka Senate election, where the party won 15 seats. He also led the party in the 2006 Gjorkan National Assembly election where the party secured 3% of the vote, but again was unable to secure any seats. However, Tabor also ran for president in the 2006 Gjorkan presidential election, and was able to secure a spot in the first presidential debate. The debate was Tabor's first major national spotlight. Following the debate, Tabor received at 37% approval rating in a poll conducted by the Gjorka Times, but a 72% approval rating from right-wing respondents. Despite the national attention, Tabor was unable to secure above 1% of the national vote

Following the 2006 elections, PSN reviewed it's internal party strategy and deduced for the 2011 elections, the party should focus more on key constituencies rather than attempting to compete nationally. This strategy was implemented in the National Assembly election where the party focused more on the districts of Northern Gjorka and Roscommon. This strategy was successful as while the party only secured 2.1% of the vote, down 0.9% from 2006, the party won its first three seats. The party's three new assembly members included Tabor who won a seat from Éire. Tabor ran again in the 2011 presidential election where he gnarned 2.5% of the vote.

National Assembly member

Following his election to the National Assembly in the National Assembly election, Tabor immediately made national headlines for proposing a bill to stop all legal immigration to Gjorka for a two year period to "allow Gjorka time to redefine its national values and as dictated by Gjorkans and Gjorkans only." Bills such as this one, remained a common theme throughout Tabor's tenure including bills to overhaul Gjorka's education system to focus on nationalism, declare Ajakanistan a terrorist state, allow judges below the Supreme Federal Tribunal to use the death penalty, and to declare coal Gjorka's "national energy" among others.

Tabor speaking at a Blue Dawn rally in 2019

In the lead up to the 2016 National Assembly election and 2016 presidential election, Tabor announced a series of large rallies to be held around Northern Gjorka and Roscommon to encourage voting. These rallies were much larger than those previously organized by the party. In turn, they also received more national attention and on several occasions counter-protests were organized in opposition to the rallies by left-wing activists. Violence broke out between rally members and protestors on multiple occasions. In June of 2016, Tabor in a interview for the True News Network said he believed the counter-protestors "were mostly Khoroshiyans who had finally stopped their whoring, begging and mugging to protest against the one candidate who plans to stop them." In both the 2016 National Assembly and presidential election Tabor and PSN finished third with Tabor earning 4.1% of the national vote in the presidential election, and PSN earning 10 seats and 7% of the vote in the National Assembly election. The party's success in the National Assembly election is mostly attributed to the aforementioned rallies as the party's vote share in Northern Gjorka increased dramatically.

During President Roman Vanderburg's second term, Tabor was extremely critical of the President and Forward Gjorka's lack of ability pass substantive legislation. As well Tabor began to hold more rallies outside of election season, and hold more rallies spearhead by local party officials rather than national leadership. From 2018 onwards, the rallies outside of Northern Gjorka and Roscommon became more frequent with Protterland and Rosemont being the biggest locations. This was part of PSN's shift from a localized approach in Northern Gjorka and Roscommon to a more national approach in preparation for the 2021 National Assembly election and 2021 presidential election. These preparation were mainly spearheaded by Tabor who wanted to encourage party growth as he believed they were "nearing their ceiling in the North". Ultimately these endeavors worked as the party won 26 seats in the National Assembly election, and earned its first seats in Baltimore and Protterland. Tabor won 11.1% of the vote in the Presidential election, his best ever result, as he managed to take more right-wing supporters away from Gjorka United despite the party running Carter Morris, a right-wing assembly member from Baltimore.

2021 – present

Following the elections, Tabor negotiated a coalition in the National Assembly known as the National Coalition with Gjorka United and the Freedom Party. From the beginning was uneasy of the coalition, multiple times questioning Gjorka United's commitment and asserting the coalition was only agreed to upon by the party to save face in light of the Pink-Green Coalition formed by Forward Gjorka and the Green Party. Ultimately the Coalition collapsed after PSN left in response to the 2022 Gjorka City summit organized by President Morris. Tabor was extremely critical of the summit and the newly founded Ostlandet Union, describing them both as a "globalist sham".

As well, following the 2021 elections PSN organized rallies have become increasing violent. Notably the 2021 Ratoath Riots and the Broadford bombing. The later of the two was perpetuated against the party by Khoroshiyan terrorists.
