	George Reid (Australian politician) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Houstoun Reid (25 February 1845 – 12 September 1918), Australian politician and fourth Prime Minister of Australia, was born in Johnstone, Renfrewshire, Scotland, son of a Church of Scotland minister, migrated to Victoria with his family as a child.
		Reid did not have a majority in either House, and he knew it would be only a matter of time before the Deakin's Protectionists patched up their differences with Labor, so he enjoyed himself in office while he could.
		Reid was extremely popular in Britain, and in 1916, when his term as High Commissioner ended, he was elected to the House of Commons for a London seat as a "Non Party Empire" candidate, where he acted as a spokesman for the self-governing Dominions in supporting the war effort.

	Station Information - George Houstoun Reid
		George Houstoun Reid (February 25, 1845 - September 12, 1918), Australian politician and fourth Prime Minister of Australia, was born in Johnstone, Renfrewshire, Scotland, son of a Church of Scotland minister, migrated to Victoria with his family as a child.
		Reid supported the federation of the Australian colonies, but since the campaign was led by his Protectionist opponent Edmund Barton he did not take a leadring role.
		Reid's poshumous reputation suffered from the general acceptance of protectionist policies by all parties, as well as from his buffoonish public image.

		Reid fought for federation at the second referendum and it was carried in New South Wales by a majority of nearly 25,000, 107,420 Votes being cast in favour of it.
		If Reid could have held his position as premier of New South Wales for another year he might possibly have been the first federal prime minister, but he was at the mercy of the Labour party, in September 1899 he was defeated, and Sir William Lyne (q.v.) formed a ministry.
		Reid as leader of the opposition had been unable to have much influence on the legislation that was passed, but often showed himself to be a formidable opponent.

	George Reid
		George Reid was a cartoonist's delight, although Deakin claimed that even a cartoonist could not do justice to his "immense, unwieldy, jelly-like stomach always threatening to break his waistband, his little legs apparently bowed beneath its weight, [and] his thick neck rising behind his ears rounding to his many-folded chin".
		Deakin later claimed that Reid, as a parliamentarian, was "inordinately vain and resolutely selfish, a consummate tactician even more cunning [than Henry Parkes] and if anything exceeding him in violence and variety of vituperation".
		But it was a flimsy alliance because Reid had no firm policy apart from waving the anti-socialist banner and securing the passage of legislation already before the House.
