Lawrence Walker

Lawrence Walker (born 12 June 1978) is a British-Norwegian politician representing the Peace & Solidarity party of Great Britain. Originally from Oslo, Norway, Lawrence Walker came to the United Kingdom to study at the London School of Economics. In Britain, he quickly got in touch with Gerald Butler and other British leftists, which lead to him quickly joining the Labour Party. He was an outspoken activist in the Stop The War movement within the party, until he defected to join Gerald Butler's newly formed party; Peace & Solidarity.

After six years of alliegance to Peace & Solidarity, Walker was elected as the party's Deputy Spokesperson. In the middle of the election campaign in 2010, Gerald Butler had an abrupt heart attack, resulting in Walker assuming Intern National Spokesmanship. Upon Butler's swift return, they both stayed as National Co-Spokespersons for the party.

In the election of June 2010, P&S came in as the forth largest party, behind Labour, the Conservatives, and the ONP. Together with Labour Leader, Jacob Harrison Conway, and leader of the Scottish National Party, Ross Blackford, Walker outlined the premises for a left-wing governmental coalition pact, resulting in Lawrence Walker taking the position of Deputy Prime Minister, as well as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions.
