Ian Macintyre

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ian Macintyre ( 1869 - June 29, 1946 ) was a British politician.

Political career

For the first time Macintyre stood in the general election in 1923 for the Unionist Party to elections at the national level. With their candidate John Gordon Jameson , the Unionists were able to win the mandate of the constituency of Edinburgh West in the general election in 1918 . Macintyre took over as the successor to Jamesons, who had lost his seat in the general election of 1922 against the liberal Vivian Phillipps . On election day, Mcintyre could not prevail against Phillipps, but asserted himself against George Mathers , who had been set up for the Labor Party .

In the subsequent general election in 1924 , Phillipps lost 11% of his votes, trailing both Macintyre and Mathers. Macintyre gained a majority with a 36.6% share of the vote and moved into the British House of Commons for the first time . At the general election in 1929 Macintyre came not more. His successor Wilfrid Normand could not keep the mandate.
