Madeline Woods

Madeline Sophia "Maddy" Woods (b. October 3, 1977) is a Georgeland politician from the Conservative Party of Georgeland. She is presently a member of the Georgeland House of Commons representing the Santa Christina-based seat of Enfield. Woods was elected at the election of 2002, replacing the retiring Steven Stackman. Woods, 24 at the time, became the youngest woman ever elected to the House. Prior to her election she had been a full-time economics student at the University of Santa Christina, and President of the University's Student Union. She remains, as of 2005, the youngest member of the House of Commons, a position sometimes known as the Baby of the House. In 2005, she was appointed to the Opposition front bench as Shadow Minister for Arts and Communications. Young, dynamic, attractive and vibrant, Woods is often called the "Tory Glamour Girl" and appears from time to time in photo shoots that showcase her difference from other Conservative politicians. Woods is part of the moderate grouping of Tory MPs. She holds very liberal positions on a number of issues, including abortion, women's rights, immigration and stem cell research. She was one of a small number of Conservatives who supported the bill to legalise same-sex marriage in the party room, though she voted against it in Parliament. Woods has been touted as a potential Tory leader from time to time, though she denies any interest in that for "at least another decade".
