Harry Hague (9 April 1922 – 1985), was a British Recorder of the Crown Court and a Liberal Party politician.
At the 1962 Blackpool North by-election he achieved a 17% swing that was the first step on a course that led to the Night of the Long Knives when Prime Minister Harold Macmillan dismissed one-third of his Cabinet.
[8] He was Liberal candidate for one of his hometown seats, the safe Tory Blackpool North division of Lancashire at the 1959 General Election.
The Liberals had not run a candidate here since 1945, yet he still managed to poll a respectable vote; In 1962 his victorious Tory opponent at Blackpool North was given a peerage which meant that a by-election had to take place.
Then followed a string of strong Liberal electoral performances that resulted in 4 months later in Harold Macmillan sacking a third of his cabinet.
