Smith was appointed to the Bermuda Senate in 1980 , and elected to the House Of Assembly in 1989 as a member of the Progressive Labour Party . She was elected deputy party leader in 1994 , and succeeded to the leadership two years later upon the death of L. Frederick Wade . She led her party to victory in parliamentary elections in November 1998 , in which the moderate United Bermuda Party , which had dominated elections since autonomy was gained in 1968 , suffered an unprecedented defeat. The Progressive Labour Party again won parliamentary elections in July 2003 , but less than a week later, she was forced to resign as premier following a revolt within her own party. She was replaced by Alex Scott , but then elected as Deputy Speaker of the House Of Assembly . EXTERNAL LINKS |
