Robert Jacobson was elected as the Ninth Prime Minister of Drongonia following the 2011 General Election. Initially, Jacobson's Labour-Green Government were popular, as they pursued welfare and infrastructure-based policies. A TVDG poll conducted in late 2012 showed Jacobson's Preferred Prime Minister rating at 58.9%, and Labour's share of the vote at 53.6%.
However, as his term continued, Labour pivoted towards taking more leftist stances on immigration and socially liberal issues, such as abolishing the yearly refugee intake cap, and the legalisation of same-sex marriage in 2014. Throughout 2014, his personal popularity fell to meet that of then Opposition Leader Bill English, with the two both polling at approximately 40% in the Preferred Prime Minister rankings. Meanwhile, Labour's party support had fallen below that of the opposition National Party, dropping to 42.8% by November 2014.
As 2015 dragged on and the 2016 General Election drew nearer, Labour's socially liberal and increasingly fiscally irresponsible policies began to fall out of favour with the public. Jacobson's personal popularity dropped even further, with an October 2015 FUX News poll showing his personal approval rating at 35%, as opposed to then Opposition Leader Bill English's 61% rating.
The Labour-Green alliance, and therefore Jacobson, would go on to lose the 2016 General Election with only 46.8% of the vote to the National-led right's 53.2%, making way for current Prime Minister Bill English.
Following the election loss, Jacobson remained as the leader of the Labour Party, and the Leader of the Opposition until August 2017, when he stepped aside to allow then-leader, Carrie Lumsden, to take his place.
Jacobson remained in the Labour Party until his resignation in June 2020. Jacobson stayed in his home electorate of Stoke until the 2020 General Election, when he would assist Labour up-and-comer Emmerson Mgulu in campaigning for the seat. The campaign was ultimately unsuccessful as National's Laura Tulley won the seat in the election by a margin of 2.4%

Early January 2023 — Newly inaugurated President Vincent van Loodefrijk has received backlash over his criticism of anti-Jewish commentary among Frostish politicians. On his first day in office, the Pluricontinental Congress has already proposed a motion of no confidence against the President. Loodefrijk has refused to pardon far-right politicians imprisoned under the previous government, insisting on maintaining the integrity of moral spirit.
