Geoffrey Rush (Napoleon's World)

Geoffrey Roy Rush (born 6 July 1951) is a retired Australian politician who served as Prime Minister of Oceania from 2001 until his defeat in a no-confidence vote in 2008. He was the leader of the Labor Party from 1999 until 2009, the longest period of time anyone has led that party in history. Rush won a landslide over the incumbent, three-term majority government of Paul Hogan in 2001 in a massive upset but struggled as Oceania faced her first recession in over a decade and was returned with a minority government in 2005. He brought two minor parties into the first Coalition government in Oceania in decades and agreed to a confidence and supply agreement with the Liberals. However, he was defeated in early 2008 on a no-confidence vote after one of his coalition partners withdrew and he announced his resignation as Prime Minister the next, and Labor would be defeated in the polls two months later after snap elections were called.
