Lennon Burke Tolstoy (born 22 September, 1970) is the first and current President of the United Federation of Jenlom and Leader of the Conservative Party. He represents Barnford, Canaria as its Member of Parliament (MP).

Tolstoy studied Law at University of Beveridge, Klixon, gaining a first-class honours degree in 1992. As a postgraduate, Tolstoy lectured on international law at the University of Boktor in Drasnia, Capitalist Paradise. Upon returning to Jenlom, he accepted a position as Chief Executive Officer of Jenlom interProvincial for three years.

In 1997, Tolstoy was approached by recruiters from the Conservative party, who suggested he run for Parliament. He was defeated in his first candidacy for Frome, Canaria in 1998, but was elected in 2002 as the Member of Parliament for the Evergreens constituency of Barnford. He was promoted to the Opposition front bench two years later. He rose rapidly in the Conservative party to become special election adviser in the 2006 general election campaign.

Presidency

In April 2014, Jenlom's founder and Head of State, Dame Jenny, died at the age of 110. In an election held four weeks after her death, Tolstoy was elected President of the United Federation of Jenlom, to serve a four year term, renewable indefinitely by popular vote.
