Who was Ernest Gates?
Ernest Everard Gates was a British Conservative Party politician. He was a Member of Parliament for the Middleton and Prestwich constituency in Lancashire from 1940 until he stood down at the 1951 general election.
He won the seat a by-election in May 1940, at which his only opponent was a member of the British Union of Fascists. Gates's 98.7% share of the votes remains an all-time record for any Parliamentary by-election in the United Kingdom.
