The BBC News Michael Ancram in British Socialists Party Directory

    

One of the Conservative Partys few remaining active grandees, Michael Ancram has come successfully through a political career despite a series of electoral setbacks. He has represented three quite different seats, holding the first Berwickshire and East Lothian for just 8 months in 1974, before returning representing Edinburgh South in 1979. He eschewed his former mildly prodevolution and proPR views, and became a junior Scottish Office minister, where he helped introduce the poll tax to Scotland and lost his seat again in 1987. Returning again for the reliably nonmarginal Devizes in 1992, he earned wide praise for his performance as a junior Northern Ireland minister.
