Preview (beginning of the article)

Anyone trying to paint a picture of March director Max Mosley cannot avoid one story: Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley. The curious career of Mosley senior explains, on the one hand, the love-hate relationship his son had with everything political and, on the other, the serpentine nature of his own career. Originally of a conservative mindset, Sir Oswald entered the English House of Commons as a Conservative MP in 1918 at the age of 22. His unique ideological slalom began in 1922: he served king and country for two more years as an independent representative and then joined the Labour Party, where he rose to the position of minister without portfolio. Disgusted by their social policies, he turned his back on the licensed parties and founded the fascist-influenced "New Party" in 1931, the forerunner of his "Union of Fascists" of 1932.
