Excerpt: Alec Ewart Glassey (29 December 1887 26 June 1970) was a British Liberal politician. He was Member of Parliament for East Dorset from 1929 to 1931.

They had three daughters. He served in the British Army throughout the First World War as a subaltern in the Highland Light Infantry and was mentioned in despatches. Glassey contested East Dorset at the 1924 general election coming second behind the Conservative. The Liberals were not well organised nationally in 1924 and no longer had the uniting issue of Free Trade to provide an anti-Conservative focus as they had in 1923. One historian comments that ...except for individuals like Lloyd George fail to provide an inspiring programme for office... However he also identifies Glassey as a local exception to this poor showing, who against the regional and national trends raised the partys share of the vote in a three-cornered contest. In contrast to many Liberal candidates, Glassey fought a vigorous and positive campaign. His election addresses concentrated on social issues and drew on Lloyd Georges plans to develop the coal and power industries. This foreshadowed the policy issues the Liberal Party would put forward in the 1929 general election when Glassey fought the seat again, this time beating the sitting Tory MP, G. R.
