The Progressive Labour Party is a Political Party in Bermuda . At the last Elections (24 july 2003), the party won 51.6 % of popular votes and 22 out of 36 seats. In 1996 Jennifer Meredith Smith succeeded to the leadership of the PLP 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 controlled the country 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 , who became premier of Bermuda. External link |
