Jinnah was able to secure chambers in the King’s Bench Walk for his legal practice. In India Jinnah had divided his time between law and politics. He planned to do the same in England. If he had reckoned that, as an eminent lawyer and a seasoned politician from India, he could easily get a ticket for a seat in Parliament, he was in for a disappointment. His fi rst choice was the Labour Party with whose policies he had some affi nity. He had known Ramsay MacDonald when he was in the Opposition. He made soundings but drew a blank. He did not know that MacDonald had not been too happy at his bold stance in the Round Table Conference. The Aga Khan then approached the Conservative Party’s central offi ce and advised Jinnah to contact Sir George Bourger of that offi ce to select a constituency from which he would like to contest. The Aga Khan was being too optimistic; the Conservative seats were not going abegging. All we know is that the Conservatives did not give him a ticket.
