Islington East by-election, 1917
The Islington East by-election, 1917 was a parliamentary by-election for the British House of Commons constituency of Islington East held on 23 October 1917.
==Vacancy==
The by-election was caused by the death of the sitting Liberal MP, Sir George Radford at the age of 66. 〔The Times, 8 October 1917 p1〕 Radford had won the seat at the 1906 general election and held it since then but Islington East was not a safe Liberal seat. It was created in 1885 and won for the Liberals in that year’s general election by Henry Bret Ince. But Ince lost to the Conservatives in 1886 and the Tories held it until Radford’s victory in 1906. 〔F W S Craig, ''British Parliamentary Election Results 1885-1918''; Macmillan Press, 1974, 23〕 However during the First World War there was an electoral truce between the main political parties by which it was agreed that all by-election vacancies would be filled unopposed. The Liberal Party could therefore expect their chosen candidate to face no Conservative or Labour opponent.
