A member of the Liberal Party, in 1895 he unsuccessfully contested the parliamentary seat of Deptford. In 1900 he was elected to parliament as MP for North Camberwell. When the Liberal Party split in 1922, Macnamara sided with the faction led by David Lloyd-George, and held the seat as a National Liberal in 1923, but was defeated when a further election was held in 1924. He failed to re-enter the Commons at the 1929 general election, and died in a London nursing home in December 1931 and was cremated at Golders Green.
