He has been involved in many aspects of Talossan life including national and provincial politics, national government and has been a contributor to Talossan culture in general.  He is a former leader of the [[CSPP|CSPP, PP]], [[RUMP]] and [[PNP]] political parties, a multiple term Member of the Cosa, a multiple term Senator and has held numerous offices in various capacities including cabinet level positions.
 
On account of his long and distinguished tenure as a citizen, Grischun was awarded the [[Senatorial Medal of Honour]] by the [[Senate]] through the passage of 54RS02 in March 2020. He is also a recipient of the [[Prime Minister's Patriotic Award]].
 
Grischun is a currently a member of [[Free_Democrats_of_Talossa|the Free Democrats of Talossa]], the Senator for Vuode, Minister of the Interior, Acting Minister of Stuff and Acting Distain.
 
==Political Career==
 
Grischun's initial entry to Talossan politics saw him joining the [[RUMP]] party during the [[39th Cosa]] and being appointed to serve as Minister of Culture by [[Seneschal]] [[Ieremiac'h Ventrutx]].
 
He then left the RUMP to join The Fair Governance Party ([[FGP]]) for the [[general election]] to the 40th Cosa, however, towards the end of the election, the FGP collapsed with all members going their separate ways.  Grischun went on to join the Progressive Party.
 
After joining the Progressive Party, he was seated in the Cosa for the first time with two seats.  He was later elected party leader in October 2010.  However, the party soon fragmented due to internal differences between members.  The core membership had changed from it's original line up and Grischun struggled to maintain a balance of ideals that appealed to the widening gap in party membership.  In the January 2011 election, the Progressives suffered losses with seat numbers going down from 89 to 57.  Grischun resigned from the party and did not serve as an MC during the [[42nd Cosa]]. 
 
He returned to the Cosa chamber for the [[43rd Cosa]] in November 2011, leading the Common Sense Party ([[CSP]]).  By mid-Cosa (March 2012), the Progressive Party was about to collapse having lost most of it's members.  He successfully negotiated a merger between his CSP and the PP to form the Common Sense Progressive Party ([[CSPP]]).  He then wrote to his old friend, [[Owen Edwards]], asking him to return to the Kingdom (Edward's had renounced his citizenship back in 2009) to help rebuild the Progressive movement.  Grischun and Edwards managed to bring the Progressive Party back to health and successfully re-cemented the ideals of progressive politics. 
 
Grischun took a step back from politics (and Talossa in general) for the duration of 2013 when events in his personal life demanded his attention.  He returned to Talossan activity in 2014 by launching a successful bid for the Vuodean Senate seat.
 
In February 2015, he announced his resignation from the Progressive Party to return to the RUMP Party, where his political career began six years earlier. 
 
In April 2016, he was appointed by [[Seneschal]] [[Cresti_Siervicül]] to serve as Minister of Culture for the third time.  Later that year, in the December 2016 election for the 50th Cosa, he was re-elected as Senator for Vuode.  Despite his name not appearing on the ballot paper, he was returned to serve as Senator for a second term receiving an overwhelming share of the local vote. 
 
After holding his seat in the Senate for 26 consecutive Clarks over a period of just over 3 years, he resigned in December 2017 as he could no longer afford enough time and attention to the post.  He then returned to the Cosa Chamber as an MC for the RUMP party.
 
In 2019, RUMP was in the final stages of going defunct.  During this process, The leader of the party, [[Alexandreu Davinescu]], abruptly resigned from the party which elevated Grischun to the role of RUMP leadership (and thus to the role of [[Leader of the Opposition]]).  Grischun resigned from the party prior to the final Clark of that session.  Nobody else stepped forward to assume the position and the party failed to register for the next election, which made Grischun the last ever leader of the RUMP.
 
A couple of months later he registered a new party, the Peculiar Nationalist Party (PNP), and campaigned for the 54th Cosa on Peculiarist concepts (such as the rejection of Talossa's land claims and of the provinces as political entities) with moderate monarchist stances (such as the support for a purely ceremonial Monarch and the abolition of its veto powers). The PNP was notable for embracing the concept of civic nationalism, in which Talossan citizenship should be open to anyone who shares national values.  The party won 25 seats in the Cosa and went on to become a junior partner in a coalition government with the FreeDems and AMP.  Grischun was appointed to serve as Minister of the Interior for this government, where he achieved success in reforming the immigration system.
 
In March 2020, the Senate Seat for Vuode became vacant following [[Viteu_Marcianüs]]' appointment to serve as a Justice of the Uppermost Court.  Grischun was appointed to fill this vacancy and he began a third stint as Vuode's Senator during the third Clark of the 54th Cosa.  This interim term would last until the conclusion of the 54th.  At the elections for the 55th Cosa, he was re-elected, unopposed, to serve again as Vuode's Senator.
 
During the 54th Cosa, Grischun developed a good working relationship with several members of the senior party in the governing coalition, the Free Democrats. As a result, prior to the election for the 55th Cosa, Grischun decided to fold the PNP to join with the FreeDems.

The Right Honourable Senator Éovart (Eðo) Grischun S.H. (b. 27 October 1984), is a citizen of Talossa and of the province of Vuode (since 20 February 2009). He has been involved in many aspects of Talossan life including national and provincial politics, national government and has been a contributor to Talossan culture in general. He is a former leader of the CSPP, PP, RUMP and PNP political parties, a multiple term Member of the Cosa, a multiple term Senator and has held numerous offices in various capacities including cabinet level positions.

On account of his long and distinguished tenure as a citizen, Grischun was awarded the Senatorial Medal of Honour by the Senate through the passage of 54RS02 in March 2020. He is also a recipient of the Prime Minister's Patriotic Award.

Grischun is a currently a member of the Free Democrats of Talossa, the Senator for Vuode, Minister of the Interior, Acting Minister of Stuff and Acting Distain.

Political Career

Grischun's initial entry to Talossan politics saw him joining the RUMP party during the 39th Cosa and being appointed to serve as Minister of Culture by Seneschal Ieremiac'h Ventrutx.

He then left the RUMP to join The Fair Governance Party (FGP) for the general election to the 40th Cosa, however, towards the end of the election, the FGP collapsed with all members going their separate ways. Grischun went on to join the Progressive Party.

After joining the Progressive Party, he was seated in the Cosa for the first time with two seats. He was later elected party leader in October 2010. However, the party soon fragmented due to internal differences between members. The core membership had changed from it's original line up and Grischun struggled to maintain a balance of ideals that appealed to the widening gap in party membership. In the January 2011 election, the Progressives suffered losses with seat numbers going down from 89 to 57. Grischun resigned from the party and did not serve as an MC during the 42nd Cosa.

He returned to the Cosa chamber for the 43rd Cosa in November 2011, leading the Common Sense Party (CSP). By mid-Cosa (March 2012), the Progressive Party was about to collapse having lost most of it's members. He successfully negotiated a merger between his CSP and the PP to form the Common Sense Progressive Party (CSPP). He then wrote to his old friend, Owen Edwards, asking him to return to the Kingdom (Edward's had renounced his citizenship back in 2009) to help rebuild the Progressive movement. Grischun and Edwards managed to bring the Progressive Party back to health and successfully re-cemented the ideals of progressive politics.

Grischun took a step back from politics (and Talossa in general) for the duration of 2013 when events in his personal life demanded his attention. He returned to Talossan activity in 2014 by launching a successful bid for the Vuodean Senate seat.

In February 2015, he announced his resignation from the Progressive Party to return to the RUMP Party, where his political career began six years earlier.

In April 2016, he was appointed by Seneschal Cresti_Siervicül to serve as Minister of Culture for the third time. Later that year, in the December 2016 election for the 50th Cosa, he was re-elected as Senator for Vuode. Despite his name not appearing on the ballot paper, he was returned to serve as Senator for a second term receiving an overwhelming share of the local vote.

After holding his seat in the Senate for 26 consecutive Clarks over a period of just over 3 years, he resigned in December 2017 as he could no longer afford enough time and attention to the post. He then returned to the Cosa Chamber as an MC for the RUMP party.

In 2019, RUMP was in the final stages of going defunct. During this process, The leader of the party, Alexandreu Davinescu, abruptly resigned from the party which elevated Grischun to the role of RUMP leadership (and thus to the role of Leader of the Opposition). Grischun resigned from the party prior to the final Clark of that session. Nobody else stepped forward to assume the position and the party failed to register for the next election, which made Grischun the last ever leader of the RUMP.

A couple of months later he registered a new party, the Peculiar Nationalist Party (PNP), and campaigned for the 54th Cosa on Peculiarist concepts (such as the rejection of Talossa's land claims and of the provinces as political entities) with moderate monarchist stances (such as the support for a purely ceremonial Monarch and the abolition of its veto powers). The PNP was notable for embracing the concept of civic nationalism, in which Talossan citizenship should be open to anyone who shares national values. The party won 25 seats in the Cosa and went on to become a junior partner in a coalition government with the FreeDems and AMP. Grischun was appointed to serve as Minister of the Interior for this government, where he achieved success in reforming the immigration system.

In March 2020, the Senate Seat for Vuode became vacant following Viteu_Marcianüs' appointment to serve as a Justice of the Uppermost Court. Grischun was appointed to fill this vacancy and he began a third stint as Vuode's Senator during the third Clark of the 54th Cosa. This interim term would last until the conclusion of the 54th. At the elections for the 55th Cosa, he was re-elected, unopposed, to serve again as Vuode's Senator.
