Smith led the Progressive Labour Party to victory in parliamentary elections in November 1998, in which the conservative United Bermuda Party , which had controlled the country for 30 years, 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.
