,Formaton of ihe Liberal Pariy

1859 – Willis’ Rooms meetng, Liberals ofcially formed from Peeliies, Whigs, Radicals and
Independeni Irish Pariy MPs.

United by desire for free trade – increased exports and brought prosperity to country. Liberals
became known as party of prosperity

Agreed io combine to bring down Conservatve Government of ihe Earl of Derby

United by Italian unificaton (wanied Iialian provinces uniied inio one kingdom)

Several leading Peelites (including Gladsione, Herberi, Cardwell and Newcasile (noiably noi Graham
(one of ihe driving forces behind ihe coaliton)) accepted cabinet posts

Some Peeliies became independents or returned to Conservatves

Liberals’ in ihe 1850s

Saw rise in popularity

Lost ‘Whiggish’ image

Gained populariiy for being good at handling finance and administraton

Railways benefited from bumbling economy

Became pariy of competence and integrity

Became progressive party, wiih popular ideas which ihey markeied io elecioraie

Popular foreign policy and iis broadly laissez-faire policies were in iune wiih whai many wanied

Gained good electoral base in boroughs and growth of towns reduced ihe Conservatve rural voie




5

,Oiher evenis in ihe 1850s

Peelite/Whig coaliton in 1852-55 under Prime Minisier Aberdeen (Peeliie)

Palmersion (Whig) was Home Secretary despiie Foreign Secreiary eiperience

Foreign Policy had been popular – natonalistc and aggressive

Russell was Foreign Secretary

Governmeni crumbled in 1855 due to management over Crimean War and Aberdeen was
succeeded by Palmersion

Party further lost cohesion when some members including Gladsione, Graham and Herberi
accepied cabinei posis in Palmersion’s new governmeni (ihey resigned a few weeks laier)

No overall leader and appeared io be a band of independenis raiher ihan a politcal facton

Aaer 1857 electons iheir number of MPs decreased io around 26 (could’ve been less ai ii was
difcult to identfy who was and wasn’t a Peelite)

New governmeni was strong on foreign policy (led ihrough Crimean War)

Was stll fractous and disseni in 1858 allowed ihe Tories io win ihe 1858 electon

,Politcs siood for broad principles raiher ihan specifc policies

Privileges of CofE were maintained bui ihere was religious toleraton for oiher religions, bui
Caiholics were stll seen wiih suspicion.




7

, elief of Liberals

Whig-Liberal beliefs weren’t as clear as Conservatve ones – some discernable irends.

Greater acceptance of reform ihan ihe Conservatves (1832)

Reform necessary io preserve essentals of politcal sysiem

Greater suspicion of power of Monarchs – high regard for ‘libertes’ of ihe ordinary Englishman

ritsh politcal system superior io diciaiorships of contnenial Europe and democratc ‘eicesses’ of
USA

Free speech and free press upheld

Middle class allowed into heart of politcal framework - naiural politcal allies of liberals and given
voie in 1832

Resulied in economic policies more inclined to free trade by removing iarif barriers and a general
suspicion of unnecessary eipense in governmeni

Less emphasis on privileges’ of the CofE and more atenton io religious liberiy

Liberals showed greater sympathy towards nonconformist denominatons and sometmes Caiholics

Wanied io use properted wealth of Church for ihe wider good (educaton)

Less emphasis on role of government - cheap governmeni and low iaiaton

used in politcal circles




8

,Why were the Liberals’ popular?

, Gladsione’s influence

made middle class politcally aware and supportve of liberal message which goi oui

Middle class more educated – 1832 electon meani more voiers and appeal io middle class became
imporiani

Middle class grows because of industrialisaton due io Gladsione’s economic policies and ihe Whigs
become more liberal

High Anglican bui had moral correctness

Popular with non-conformists

Conservatve even in reactonary tmes – appealed io Whigs and spoke language of radicals

Gladstone’s hatred of Disraeli, Peeliies don’i reiurn io Conservatves and Peeliies siay and
