Political Organisation; Right Wing, British In 1919, Bottomley founded the People's League. He hoped the League would become "a great Third Party" which would represent "the People" against organised labour and organised capital. James Gascoyne-Cecil, 4th Marquess of Salisbury was also initially involved in the League. According to Oswald Mosley, he and Leslie Hore-Belisha were also active members. In 1920, Bottomley complemented the League by forming the "Independent Parliamentary Group" with other MPs sympathetic to his ideas, while still using the People's League to stand George Makgill in the Leyton by-election, 1920.
