Biography
Early life
Martin Ellingham was born on 11 February, 1904 to Chester Ellingham, a civil servant who was born in Estmere, and Georgia Ellingham, who was a housewife in Nua Taois. As the eldest of five children, and the only son, Martin was treated very well by his parents.
In 1909, he started attending school, where he was described as an excellent student. In 1914, he attended the Wensley Grammar School, where he was described as an excellent student, excelling in the humanities. After finishing his education in 1919, Martin Ellingham worked for several years as a bank teller at the Bank of the Orient.
He joined the Conservatives in 1924, and was elected as MP for the constituency of Nua Taois-East in 1936. As a backbencher member of parliament, Ellingham was an excellent legislator, helping him rise through the ranks of the Conservatives. By 1948, he became cabinet minister, serving as Justice Minister until 1952, when Prime Minister Frederick Maynard was defeated by Democratic Labour candidate Marguerite Ernman.
Following the defeat, Maynard resigned, and at the leadership convention, he became the leader of the Conservatives, and by extension became leader of the opposition. During his tenure, he attacked Ernman's policies for harming her base of support, and for undermining Imagua's competitiveness on the world stage, as well as accusing her policies of leading towards Swetanian-style communism.
These tactics helped secure his election to the premiership in 1956, with the Conservatives gaining seven seats in the Lesser House of Parliament.
