Palmer stood for parliament unsuccessfully at Lincoln in 1857 and 1859 general elections and at a by-election in 1862.[3] At the 1868 general election[4] he was elected as a Member of Parliament (MP) for Lincoln, but lost the seat in 1874.[3] He was re-elected in 1880[5] and held the seat until his death at the age of 75 in 1884.[1]
