THEMARTELLPLAN

TheMartellPlan,mentionedinpassingthroughouttheregionaldirectorieswastheelectoralstrategyadoptedbytheLiberalPartyfortheGeneralElectionof1950.ItwasfirstnamedafterEdwardMartellqv(GreaterLondon),aparty‘grandee’oftheimmediatepost-waryearswhoadvocatedthenominationofover150additionalcandidatesinconstituencieswhichhadlittleornoLiberalorganizationnorhistoryofLiberalactivityinrecentyears.Mostwereadoptedlessthantwomonthsbeforenominationday,manyattheeleventhhour,Martell’sobjectivebeingtoincreasetheLiberalchallengetoalevelatwhichthepartywouldbeenabledtoformagovernment,presumingenoughMPswereelected.

Martellandhissupporters,amongthemmanyyoungerpartymembersincludingJeremyThorpe,IsaacHyamqqv,believedthatasteadilygrowingnumberofadoptionsbeingannouncedinthemediawouldcreateamomentumofitsowninthemindsoftheelectorate.ThemajorityoftheconstituenciesinvolvedwereinurbanareasofGreaterLondon,theNorthWest,SouthEast,ScotlandandtheWestMidlandRegions,thoughotherregionswereinvolvedtolesserdegree.Quixotically,aconsiderablenumberoflargelyruralconstituencieswentuncontestedwhereaLiberalcandidatemighthavefaredreasonablywell,judginguponresultsobtainedatthe1945GeneralElection.Thefinalnationaltallyofcandidates,afairproportionofthemofdubiousLiberalpedigree,wasover450.Thepartylostover300deposits,thoughwithoutcontemporaryrecordsofLiberalassociations,orregionalparties,coveringtheperiod,itisnowimpossibletodifferentiatetechnicallybetweena‘MartellPlanCandidate’andacandidate,albeitinanunpromisingconstituency,adoptedfollowingmoreformalprocedures,wellinadvanceofnominationday.AnenormouspercentageoftheMartellPlancandidateswereamongthosetolosetheirdepositsof£150,thensetat121/2%ofvotescast.FortunatelyprovisionhadbeenmadeforsomemeasureofinsurancecoverwithLloydsintheCityofLondonagainstthiscontingency.

ThegoaloffightingeverymainlandconstituencyintheUKwasfinallyachieved25yearslaterundertheleadershipofJeremyThorpeattheGeneralElectionofOctober1974.Thebroadfrontwasreduced,marginally,atthefollowingelectionof1979.Inboth1983and1987theLiberalsandtheirallies,theSDP,eachcontestedroughly50%oftheUKparliamentaryconstituencies,avoidingcontestsagainsteachothersaveinahandfulofcases.Since1992theLiberalDemocratshavecontestedeveryconstituencyinmainlandUK,saveforthatheldbyTheSpeakerandahandfulofotherinstances,ateverysuccessivegeneralelection.Inrecenttimespartynomineeswhoarenominatedatthelastminuteinunpromisingconstituencies,simplytoshowtheflag,havecometobetermed‘papercandidates.’Virtuallyeverycandidateatrecentgeneralelections,however,hasbeenapprovedbytheparty’sparliamentarycandidates’committeeandadoptedaccordingtoformalprocedure.
