Keir Hardie Clashes With A King
A
EMRYS HIGHES continues his life of the great labour politician This is Part Five
FTER only three years in Parliament, Hardio was defeated in The 1895 election the Liberals united with the Tories to fight him. The 29 other Independent Labour candidates were equally unsuccessful including a young Scot, Ramany MacDonald.
He spent the next five years travelling the country, speaking at countless meetings, writing and campaigning. He also visited America to speak.
In 1900 he was returned to Westminster again as M.P. for Merthyr. His first speech was a denunciation of the Boer War.
In the 1906 election, the Liberals won an historic victory - the climax of their history -over the Conservatives. Twenty-nine Labour candidates were also returned. All that Hardie hnd toiled for so long was now achieved an independent Labour Party in Parlia- ment.
