William Lewis Boyle

William Lewis Boyle (1859–1918) was Liberal Unionist MP for Mid Norfolk.

The four times he stood in the constituency it was a straight fight between the Liberals and the Liberal Unionists.

He stood unsuccessfully in 1900 and 1906, and won in the two general elections of 1910.

Boyle joined the Conservative Party when it merged with the Liberal Unionists in 1912. He died in office; the resulting by-election had only one candidate because of the wartime truce.

gollark: Anyone know about video file meddling? I want to upload a 10 hour loop of a 13 second video to YouTube, but just concatenating it 2770 times with `ffmpeg` produced a 3GB file before I ran out of /tmp space, so can I just edit the headers somehow to make stuff *play* it as if it's 10 hours?

gollark: It's a shame the only disc-playing things I have around are a DVD drive I might possibly maybe need eventually and an old CD player.

gollark: Not on arduinos according to a random result I duckduckgoed.

gollark: `int` is 2 bytes, so -32768 to 32767 works.
