The name Smith Jackie took pride of place in the history of England, and not by accident. Smith Jackie is the first female politician in England to take over as Home Secretary. How did she manage to take this position and what did Jackie Smith go through in order to benefit her country?
Parents and family
Jackie Smith was born in Malvern, England in 1962, into a close-knit family of school teachers. Jackie was not obligated to follow her father's career in government politics. The father of the future politician was one of the members of the Labor Council, being one of the brightest defenders of conservative ideas.
It was Jackie's father who very often communicated with people and performed in public. And so, talking with sixth grade students, he drew attention to their teacher. As it turned out, the teacher herself (Jackie's future mother) was also actively involved in and was fond of politics, so she became a member of the Labor Party without any hesitation. It was there that the communication continued, which ended with the wedding and the birth of Jackie Smith.
Hobbies of youth
Jackie Smith, along with her main educational activity, also looked for various options for a part-time job as an economics teacher. However, she realized that her analytical skills would not allow her to linger in this role for a very long time.
Therefore, without realizing it herself, she began to occupy the position of the main coordinator of the GNVQ economic direction at the college where she studied.
A little later, she went to work as a secretary in one of the organizations of Labor students. By the way, Jackie Smith worked in this position until 1997.
Interests of adulthood
From the moment Jackie Smith became secretary, she could no longer imagine her life without political activity. Jackie confidently moved up the career ladder, and the next step in her career is the administration of Terry Davis, who is one of the members of parliament.
For 10 years of fruitful work, Jackie was able to gain a multifaceted rich experience, which allowed her to try her strength and capabilities during the parliamentary elections in 1992. By the way, she failed to pass the elections that time.
However, during this period, colleagues remembered Jackie as a self-confident right defender going through any obstacles. For the same reason, she was remembered a little later, after Tony Blair won the election. Following his victory, Jackie Smith became a member of the House of Commons Finance Committee.
Only forward
And since 1999, Jackie Smith began to work in the government. Over the years, Jackie Smith has held ministerial positions in commerce and health. She was also made responsible for creating programs to combat student misbehavior.
And, of course, it was Jackie Smith who stood up for women's rights, achieved equality and was involved in the introduction of the first civil marriages allowed for those who belong to representatives of non-traditional sexual orientation. And during two consecutive terms, Jackie was successfully re-elected to the same post.
Jackie Smith had a special relationship with the Labor Party. In 2006, Jackie became the main organizer of this party. And all the knowledge accumulated over the years of work allowed her not only to save, but also to improve the party, protecting it from secret coups that affect the rule and work of Tony Blair. And after Tony Blair stepped down from office in 2007, power was transferred to Gordon Brown.
Gordon Brown did not feel any sympathy for Jackie Smith, as a representative of the weaker sex, but he noted her merits in politics. It was he who appointed Jackie Minister of the Interior, and this event was the first in the history of the state. Jackie Smith was flattered that she was given such a position, and the first tasks that she set for herself were maintaining the security of the state and fighting terrorist groups.
Innovation and the end of a career
Jackie Smith had a love of bringing something new. So, back in 2008, with its easy filing, a number of categories of citizens of the state became owners of biometric cards, which contained data on the owner's fingerprints.
Jackie also appreciated and respected the laws and traditions of Britain, so she was confidently opposed to anyone coming to the country, which also had a good effect on the general state of her native state and helped him become more focused on indigenous people.
Unfortunately, her career in 2009, unexpectedly for everyone, gave a crack. The scandal was not connected with Jackie Smith herself, but with her husband. He was caught in the fact that, according to official media reports and other sources, he used a large amount of money from the state treasury in order to engage in viewing channels of pornographic content.
Jackie Smith, unable to withstand such a shame on such a scale, eventually resigned. Today she lives with her husband and two sons, and her family has become the basis of her personal life. By the way, Jackie continues to engage in political activities to this day, but she no longer holds the same high posts.
The scandal with her husband and his hobbies was forgotten, but from that day on, Jackie Smith herself decided not to hold very high posts in her state, but her contribution to the development of the country was invaluable, which allowed her to go down in the history of the state.
