Liberal Government 1880–1885
- Liberal Government 1880–1885
After ardently campaigning against the foreign policy of Lord Beaconsfield's Conservative Government, William Gladstone led the Liberal Party to victory in the United Kingdom General Election of 1880. The nominal leader of the Party, Lord Hartington, resigned in Gladstone's favour and Gladstone. became Prime Minister for the second time. He pursued a policy of Parliamentary reform, but his government became wildly unpopular after the murder of Chinese Gordon in 1885. Gladstone was held responsible, and resigned, leaving the way free for the Conservatives under Lord Salisbury to form a government.
