Who was the leader of The League of Empire Loyalists that Tyndall joined in the mid-1950s?

Arthur Chesterton
John Bean
Colin Jordan
Martin Webster

Answer

The League of Empire Loyalists, a pro-British group advocating continued British rule of Rhodesia, was led by Arthur Chesterton, a former MP and member of the settler-dominated Rhodesian Front party. It was not a political party but rather an organization founded in 1955 that opposed granting more power to the country's Black majority population and campaigned against political reforms that would lead to majority rule.
