He stood in East Dunbartonshire at the 1970 general election, taking 11% of the vote, then in East Kilbride in October 1974, where he came a close second with 37%. He stood again in 1979, then in Cumbernauld and Kilsyth in 1983, but never won a seat.[4][5]
In 2003, Murray left the SNP group on the council, along with his wife, Margaret, in protest at Andrew Wilson being placed well down the party's list for Central Scotland, and their belief that the SNP group on the council paid insufficient attention to Cumbernauld.[2] They subsequently formed the Cumbernauld Independent Councillors Association, which he represented until 2012, when he retired due to ill health.[6]
