Hillhead by-election beer mat. The Glasgow Hillhead by-election was held on 25th March 1982. The by-election was caused by the death of the Conservative Party MP Tam Galbraith on 2nd January 1982. Hillhead had been a Conservative seat since its creation in 1918. The beermat here shows the SNP candidate George Leslie standing over SDP candidate Roy Jenkins, Labour’s David Wiseman and Gerry Malone from the Conservative. The election was won by Roy Jenkins of the SDP giving the new party 29 MPs. Roy Jenkins held Glasgow Hillhead until the 1987 General Election when he was beaten by Labour’s George Galloway.
This beermat was designed by cartoonist and caricaturist, Malky McCormick. McCormick began entertaining audiences with his unique illustrations and caricatures in the late 1960s, originally while working as a graphic designer with Scottish Television. In 1975, with his friend and fellow banjo player Billy Connolly, he devised and wrote the hugely successful cartoon strip The Big Yin for the Sunday Mail. McCormick's artwork has been published in newspapers across Scotland and the UK. He was resident cartoonist on ITV's quiz show Win Lose or Draw for ten years, and in the 1970s was a member of the five-piece skiffle group, The Vindscreen Vipers.
