Griffiths was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Sheffield Brightside in a 1968 by-election. In September 1974, he was deselected as a candidate by his local Constituency Labour Party in favour of Joan Maynard one month before a general election, and then decided to stand against Maynard as an Independent Labour candidate. He lost by a margin of 7,926 votes (22%), although he polled 28% of the vote and finished in second place. However, he was never elected an MP again.
