He was described as a "true son of Southland" who never gave up his independence.
Parliamentary colleague Colin Moyle stated Begg paid a price for his individualism and his lack of teamwork cost him the advancement that he could have had.
Begg first stood for the New Zealand House of Representatives in in the "true blue" electorate of against cabinet minister Brian Talboys.

However Begg in turn defeated Templeton by 700 votes at the election as part of Labour's landslide victory.
He held the seat for one term until he was defeated in 1975.
He quickly earned a reputation for speaking forthrightly on farming issues particularly in favour of meat producers.
Notably he was a strong opponent of a scheme to acquire compulsorily the wool clip despite the scheme being supported by the Third Labour Government.
Following his defeat he stood for the vice-presidency of the Labour Party at the 1976 party conference.
Begg became a member of Labour's party executive and chairman of Labour's Agricultural Advisory Committee.
In the, he was the Labour candidate for Invercargill losing by the narrow margin of 256 votes to Norman Jones.
