Charles "Charlie" Lynton (b. ca 1955) was a prominent member of the British Union of Fascists, becoming its head in the mid-1990s. He was one of the first people in the German sphere of influence to push for reform in the days prior to the death of Führer Kurt Haldweim. During a BUF convention in 2010, his faction was able to reintroduce elements of democracy back into the party, changing its party rules to allow the membership to elect its leaders. He predicated this move for change largely on the strength of the First Edition of Mein Kampf.[1]
Lynton was eventually installed as Britain's Prime Minister. In 2011, he condemned the attempted Putsch against Heinz Buckliger.[2]
While Lynton's speech and mannerisms suggested an old line English aristocrat, Lynton had in fact been born in Edinburgh, Scotland.[3]
Literary Comment[]
Charlie Lynton is named for Anthony Charles Lynton "Tony" Blair (b. 1953), Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1997-2007. Like Lynton, Blair was born in Edinburgh but appears more English than Scottish in his speech and bearing. He was also born in the mid-1950s and became party leader in the mid-1990s.
