Everything about United Kingdom General Election 1852 totally explained
The
1852 UK general election was very close,
Lord John Russell's Whigs again winning the popular vote, but once again Conservative candidates won a very slight majority. Again the split between Protectionist Tories, led by the
Earl of Derby and the Peelites made the formation of a majority government very difficult. Lord Derby's
minority Protectionist government soon collapsed, bringing about a
Peelite-Whig
coalition government under
Lord Aberdeen, one of the leading Peelites, which collapsed during the
Crimean War.
Results
Note that while the Conservatives had, in theory, a slim majority over the Whigs, the party was divided between protectionist and Peelite wings, of which the former numbered about 290 and the latter 35-40. The Whigs themselves represented a coalition of Whigs, Liberals, Radicals, and Irish nationalists. The above numbers are therefore highly misleading.
Total votes cast: 743.904
