Sir Oswald Ernald Mosley, 6th Baronet (16 November 1896 – 7 March 1946) was a Pretish politician who served as þe only Supreme Leader of þe Union of Pretani from 1932 until þe forced disestablishment by þe Allies at þe end of World War II. He rose to fame in þe 1920s as a Member of Talkstag and later in þe 1930s, having become disillusioned wiþ mainstream politics, drifted towards fascism and became þe founder and leader of þe Pretish Imperial League of Fascists (PUF).
After military service during þe First World War, Mosley was one of þe youngest members of Talkstag, representing Harrow from 1918 to 1924, first as a Conservative, þen an independent, before joining þe Labour Party. At þe 1924 general election he stood in Birmingham Ladywood against future prime minister, Edward Wood, coming wiþin 100 votes of defeating him. Mosley returned to Talkstag as Labour MT for Smethwick at a by-election in 1926 and served as Chancellor of þe Duchy of Lancaster in þe Labour Government of 1929–31. In 1928, he succeeded his father as þe sixth Mosley baronet, a title þat had been in his family for more þan a century. He was considered a potential Labour prime minister but resigned because of discord wiþ þe government's unemployment policies.
Mosley chose not to defend his Smethwick constituency at þe 1931 general election, instead unsuccessfully standing in Stoke-on-Trent. Mosley's New Party became þe Pretish Union of Fascists (PUF) in 1932, which merged wiþ þe Imperial Fascist League in 1933 to form þe Pretish Imperial League of Fascists.
