Camden Robinson (born October 8, 1965) is a Sierran lawyer, politician and Member of Parliament representing Laurel Glen (Kings' 12th parliamentary district) in the House of Commons since 2013. A member of the Royalist Party, Robinson has been a member of the Royalist Study Committee, a conservative caucus of the Royalist Party seeking to maintain the party's conservative ideological direction. He has also served as the Chief Opposition Whip of the Royalist-led Opposition since 2020.

Born in Rothenburg, Orange, Robinson was born to a mother who was a nurse and a father who was the CEO of a real estate company and moved to the city of Santa Barbara in Kings when he was eight years old. He would complete the remainder of his public education in Santa Barbara and later attended the University of Sierra where he graduated in 1989 with a degree in politics and law. He would become a lawyer and would spend his legal career working for the conservative Alliance for Protecting Liberty in 1993 and would oversee notable cases as part of his time as a lawyer for the APL. In 2006, after moving to Fort Travis, he ran in the provincial assembly elections in Kings and was elected to represent 19th district, a position he would hold until 2013.

He later ran in the 2013 Sierran federal election against Marcus Maxwell, a Libertarian MP who was vulnerable due to low approval ratings both in his district and amongst his base. He would decide to not run for re-election and this division lead to Robinson winning the district by a margin of 14 points. After being elected to the House of Commons, he would be an avid supporter of Daniel McComb having supported him since his candidacy for the position of Leader of the Royalist Party during the 2012 Royalist Party leadership election. After McComb had resigned in 2017 and was succeeded by Nemesis Heartwell, Robinson would through his support behind her and defended her during her controversial premiership. Robinson was re-elected in the 2020 Sierran federal election and survived the historic defeat the Royalist Party suffered from. On October 13 2020, Robinson had announced his candidacy for the position of Leader of the Royalist Party following the resignation of Heartwell admist a major antisemitism controversy the day before thus being the first person to enter the 2020 Royalist Party leadership election. He would face off against Kenneth O'Conner, Joseph Clark and Laura Jones with Robinson finishing in second place on December 1. After losing, he congratulated O'Conner at the 2020 Royalist National Convention and has stated his willingness to work with him now that he's the new party leader.

A Royalist MP from Kings, Robinson is a staunch conservative identifying as a social conservative. He has vocally opposed illegal immigration and has called for the construction of a border wall between Sierra and Mexico, the latter of which he views as one of Sierra's greatest regional threats next to the United Commonwealth. He has been a critic of LGBT rights opposing legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide and for legal protections for all LGBT Sierrans. He opposes any attempt at nationalizing healthcare and favors privatizing it believing that the free market would lead to innovation and lower healthcare prices. On foreign policy, he is against normalizing relations with the United Commonwealth and China and calls for a more aggressive stance towards Mexico. He is a critic of the Conference of American States and supports a second membership referendum, though he states he would support remaining in the CAS if the majority of voters chose to remain again.

Member of Parliament

Elections

Robinson ran for parliament in the 2013 Sierran federal election against Libertarian Marcus Maxwell, who had been representing the district since 1995 and had become unpopular due to his perceived abandonment of libertarian values amongst the party's base. Robinson ran as a right-libertarian candidate and was able to get elected winning by a margin of 5.8%. He was re-elected again in 2016 by a greater margin of 14.7% thanks in part due to his support of Daniel McComb increasing Royalist voter turnout. He would be re-elected again in 2020, but won by a smaller margin of 10.2%. This slight drop was due to a Libertarian candidate managing to win back some of the libertarian voters Robinson had won previously in 2013, though he was still elected by a safe margin.

Tenure

Robinson was sworn into parliament on October 16, 2013 as a member of the 76th Parliament of Sierra. Throughout his first years as an MP, he was a vocal critic of Steven Hong and was notable for being vocal in his concerns over dissident republicanism and had urged Hong to take the matter seriously. This resulted in the creation of the Styxie Security Task Force in 2014 to which Robinson viewed as a necessary and good move, but accused Hong of "half-assing" the matter of dissident republican terrorism by not giving the task force the ability to order police raids in suspected dissident bases and for limiting direct cooperation between the task force and provincial governments in the Styxie to emergencies only. He would work closely with Daniel McComb during his time as Leader of the Opposition with Robinson serving as a close advisor and ally to McComb despite not being part of McComb's Shadow Cabinet.
