Roger James Pincham CBE (born 28 October 1935) is a former British Liberal Party politician.
He stood as the Liberal Party candidate for Leominster at each election from 1970 to 1983,[1][2] coming only 579 votes, less than 2%, away from victory in October 1974.
Leominster has otherwise been a safe Conservative seat with no other Liberal candidate since 1906 polling within 10% of the Tory vote.
[5] In connection with this he contributed the biography of William Ewart Gladstone for the Liberal Democrat History Group site.
[8] A classical liberal in the Gladstonian tradition, Pincham is generally on the right of his party; he has long been an advocate of a land value tax to mitigate other form of taxation.
