Ivor Guest party affiliation edit

Since he doesn't yet have an article (or an entry in the DNB - a search for "Ivor Guest" yields his father) this is probably the best place for this.

Guest is listed variously as National Independent in F. W. S. Craig and The Times Guide to the House of Commons 1935 but also as a Conservative (on the Wikipedia list of by-elections, at the foot of his father's entry in the DNB and also, I think, "British Political Facts" by David Butler & Anne Sloman) and the brochure for the 1936 Liberal National Party Convention which formed the Liberal National Council, the main extra-parliamentary apparatus, includes Guest in a complete list of all Liberal National MPs! (I should add that virtually every summary of results for the 1935 election that I've seen gives the Lib Nats no more than 33 MPs and Guest would push it up to 34.)

Does anyone have any other good sources? Timrollpickering 21:23, 7 March 2007 (UTC)Reply


Labour selection 1997 edit

I've added a mention and a reference to a fact I've learnt today about three of the unsuccessful candidates who sort the Labour nomination in 1997 as I think it's worthy of a mention. Paulharding150 (talk) 13:03, 25 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
