Lewisham North by-election, 1957
The Lewisham North by-election of 14 February 1957 was held following the death of Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) Sir Austin Hudson, 1st Baronet the previous year. In a defeat for the government the seat was gained by the Labour Party.
==Candidates==
The Conservatives chose Norman Farmer as their candidate for a seat that had been held by the party since its creation in 1950.
Labour's candidate was Niall MacDermot, the son of an Irish barrister. Himself a successful lawyer he had only joined the party the previous year after fearing that his involvement in an earlier manslaughter case would preclude any political ambitions. MacDermot's mentor within the party, Elwyn Jones, persuaded him to run for election.〔(Naill MacDermott obituary )〕
Leslie Greene ran as an "independent loyalist" candidate.〔(RENTS ROW SWINGS THE VOTE video newsreel film )〕 Although an independent she was actively supported by the right-wing pressure group the League of Empire Loyalists.〔David Boothroyd, ''The Politico's Guide to the History of British Political Parties'', London: Politico's, 2001, p. 143〕 Greene, the group's organising secretary, had gained notoriety the previous year when he interrupted a speech by Anthony Eden, typical of the sort of headline-grabbing stunt favoured by the group at the time.〔Martin Durham, ''Women and Fascism'', Routledge, 1998, p. 101〕
