He was a member of the antisemitic and pro-Nazi Right Club established by Archibald Maule Ramsay in 1938.[2]

Having been refused a Conservative nomination at the 1945 general election, Mackie was re-elected and sat as an "Independent Unionist" from 1945 to 1948. The Conservative whip was restored in 1948 and he continued to represent Galloway until his death.
