Carwyn Charles Maddock (born 8th June 1947, aged 69) is a Rainian National Union politician who currently serves as a senator for Pontydriff. He previously served as Prime Minister and National Union party leader from 1993 to 2003, Leader of the Opposition from 1989 to 1993 and Minister of Social Services under the Frederick Joseph government from 1980 to 1984. He represented the constituency of Dwynnedd from 1976 to 2007. Born in a skilled working class family in 1947, Maddock studied Economics at the University of Barnath and worked for in the Rothschild Group merchant banking from 1967 until 1976, when he ran for the House of Councillors in the 1976 election for the National Union party in the safe seat of Dwynnedd . In 1980 he was appointed as Minister of Social Services by the Prime Minister Frederick Joseph, a role he held until 1984 when the National Union government lost to the Labour party under Matthew Griffiths. During the 1980's Maddock emerged as one of the moderate members of the Anti-Revolutionary party identifying with one-nation conservatism. After the 1988 election on which the National Union party suffered a second consecutive defeat after being set by factional infighting Maddock made an alliance with the new right within the pair wanting to revitalise the party on a unity ticket. In 1989 Maddock successfully toppled the National Union leader Michael Gwent in a leadership contest, relaunching the NUP as a centre-right big tent conservative party. This allowed Maddock to lead the National Union party into the biggest landslide for any Rainian political party in the 1993, defeating the incumbent Labour government with Maddock becoming Prime Minister. The Maddock government presided over a booming economy, and largely maintained the free-market economy that the Labour government had bequeathed to them, pushed for more deregulation and privatisation then previously attempted by Rainian governments, especially lowering interest rates and kicking off a housing boom. Maddock was successful in passing right-to-work laws and reducing union power, a policy rejected by the Labour government. Maddock also toughened immigration policy and led Rainier in participating in the Kosovo War. His government also in the light of the 9/11 attacks expanded police powers and deployed troops to Afghanistan, following a neoconservative foreign policy. In 2003 he supported Rainian involvement in the Iraq War, which resulted in support in his government to plummet. In 2003 the NUP government lost in a narrow election to the Labour party under Hannah Kwong. Maddock resigned from his leadership positions within the NUP, becoming a senator in 2007. Maddock's premiership has elicited a mixed reaction by academics. Whilst praised for maintaining Rainier's economic growth during the late 1990's and early 2000's, his stance on the Iraq War has been criticised and in retrospect his government's cultivation of the housing bubble, which some have credited as having resulted in Rainier to be hard hit during the Great Recession.
