Quinn Fabray (born April 30th, 1972) is a former politician who served as Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Malgrave between 2009 and 2018.
Early life and career
Quinn Fabray was born on the outskirts of the rural town of Karlino, and although she is part of a large family by Malgravean standards (having three older brothers) she is the only daughter of Filip Lewandowski and Susan Fabray. Filip Lewandowski being leader of the Agricultural Coalition saw the vote gaining potential in this only daughter and quickly took her along with him on the numerous political events. The noise of the crowd and the feeling of such mass rural support quickly grabbed the young Quinn's attention and drew her into the field of politics at an early age.
In the following years the entire family toured the rural areas of the country, aiming to gain political support among the more social conservative rural population, the constant movement around the country while being supported by political allies which fervently held the same political points of her family only sought to further cement her political positions at that time. After several years of touring with family members she was finally asked to step up to the political plate, and at the age of 14 was finally allowed to attend political conferences herself. It was at this time she started to encounter people which political opinions actually differed from her family and their political allies and she gradually began to challenge her long held beliefs although she still held them in public.
It was during one of these political cultural events in 1998 that Quinn began to finally change into the politician and person she is today, as she was challenged by a rising progressive personality to live inside the city of Epping for a month before evaluating her political positions, something which was accepted rather arrogantly by Quinn at the time who moved into a small apartment in the outskirts of the city. Although she moved into the city in order to challenge the views of a left-wing figure her father and other members of the Agricultural Coalition still saw it as a betrayal of ideals, with some members seeing her as corrupted by the ideas of cityfolk moving to kick her from the party, the added insult came when her father publicly dismissed her from the family.
For several years following the incident Quinn continued to live in Epping deciding to finally forge her own political ideas she slowly began to slide to the left-side of the political spectrum finally joining the Progressive Unity Party in 1994. Quinn successfully joined parliament in 1995 when a local MoCR decided to retire from politics. Since then Quinn rose through the system becoming known for her ruthless aggression in both parliament and during meetings with fellow politicians. She first came into the public spotlight in 1997 during a reshuffle when she became Shadow Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development a post she held for five years into government until she became Minister of Culture, Youth, Media and Sports only holding the positions for one year until she was promoted to position of Foreign Minister.
Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development
After the 2000 Malgravean General Election Quinn maintained her position in the opposition in the newly formed government, a somewhat controversial decision due to her membership of the Agricultural Coalition and the fact her father the founder of the organisation, with many members of the left-wing faction of the Progressive Unity Party voicing their criticism.
In her two year stint as Minister of Agricultural and Rural Development, Quinn pushed through several reforms to promote automation and increase the size of the state-run agricultural company, MalFarm. Both reforms were designed to increase productivity in the agricultural and increase exports, however, the way they were introduced was unpopular in rural areas, especially, the proposal to increase the size of MalFarm which was seen as a threat to cooperative agriculture.
Minister of Culture, Youth, Media and Sports
In 2002 Quinn was moved to the Ministry of Culture, Youth, Media and Sports, an unexpected reshuffle given the extensive nature of her work to improve the agricultural sector, however, it is suspected that the unpopular nature of her reforms and a few ill-advised comments she made about the backlash forced the move.
It was a role that Quinn would only remain in for a year when she received a promotion in the next cabinet reshuffle.
Foreign Minister
In her time as Foreign Minister Quinn was tasked with orchestrating the opening up of the country to the international community, although, she had a number of small constraints placed on her by the party leadership who were concerned about the possible economic and social ramifications of rapidly opening the country to the world economy, so she quickly gained a reputation for her savy ability to open up the country while remaining on the good side of the party leadership.
Quinn also became known for facilitating the expansion of many state-owned operations overseas, with MalMart, MalTec, MalPha and other state-run businesses having sizeable presences in overseas markets due to work started under her leadership, with other companies like MalTube also benefiting from this work.
Additionally, Quinn was able to attract foreign investment into sectors of the economy providing a much needed boost to sectors like tourism and industry, with the former resulting in the establishment of Ferqui Club.
Deputy Prime Minister
Quinn's successful posting as Foreign Minister both increased her popularity and made her one of the most well known politicians inside the party in the aftermath of the 2009 election and although some party and opposition politicians viewed the decision as unprofessional Quinn was promoted to the position of Deputy Prime Minister.
Currently her time in office has been known for strictly supporting the positions of the Prime Minister on all issues and ensuring fellow politicians and selected allies tow the political line during important votes in parliamentary sessions, a task well suited for her unique aggressive approach to situations
