Information: - Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield, (21 December 1804 19 April 1881) was a British politician and writer who twice served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He played a central role in the creation of the modern Conservative Party, defining its policies and its broad outreach. Disraeli is remembered for his influential voice in world affairs, his political battles with the Liberal Party leader William Ewart Gladstone, and his one-nation conservatism or "Tory democracy". He made the Conservatives the party most identified with the glory and power of the British Empire. He is the only British Prime Minister of Jewish birth. - The July 1852 United Kingdom general election was a watershed in the formation of the modern political parties of Britain . Following 1852 , the Tory / Conservative party became , more completely , the party of the rural aristocracy , while the Whig / Liberal party became the party of the rising urban bourgeoisie in Britain . The results of the election were extremely close in terms of both the popular vote and the numbers of seats won by the two main parties . As in the previous election of 1847 , Lord John Russell 's Whigs won the popular vote , but the Conservative party won a very slight majority of the seats . However , a 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 ruled from 23 February 1852 until 17 December 1852 . Derby appointed Benjamin Disraeli as Chancellor of the Exchequer in this minority government . However , in December 1852 , Derby 's minority government collapsed because of issues arising out of the budget introduced by Disraeli . A Peelite - Whig coalition government was then formed under Lord Aberdeen , one of the leading Peelites . Although the immediate issue involved in this vote of '' no confidence '' which caused the downfall of the Derby minority government was the budget , the real underlying issue was repeal of the Corn Laws which parliament had passed in June 1846 . - William Ewart Gladstone, (29 December 1809 19 May 1898) was a British Liberal and earlier conservative politician. In a career lasting over sixty years, he served as Prime Minister four separate times (186874, 188085, FebruaryJuly 1886 and 189294), more than any other person, and served as Chancellor of the Exchequer four times. Gladstone was also Britain's oldest Prime Minister; he resigned for the final time when he was 84 years old. - One-nation conservatism (also known as one-nationism, or Tory democracy) is a form of British political conservatism that views society as organic and values paternalism and pragmatism. The phrase "One-nation Tory" originated with Benjamin Disraeli (18041881), who served as the chief Conservative spokesman and became Prime Minister in February 1868. He devised it to appeal to working-class men as a solution to worsening divisions in society through introducing factory and health Acts, as well as greater protection for workers. - The Peelites were a breakaway faction of the British Conservative Party, existing from 1846 to 1859, who joined with the Whigs and Radicals to form the Liberal Party ('Liberal' referring to their position on economic matters). They were called "Peelites" because they were initially led by Sir Robert Peel, who was the British Prime Minister and Conservative Party leader in 1846. - Earl of Beaconsfield, of Hughenden in the County of Buckingham, was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1876 for Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, a favourite of Queen Victoria. Victoria favoured Disraeli's Tory policies over those of his Liberal rival, William Ewart Gladstone. Disraeli had also promoted the Royal Titles Act 1876 that had given Victoria the title of "Empress of India". The subsidiary title of the earldom was Viscount Hughenden, of Hughenden in the County of Buckingham, also in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. - The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the head of Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom.
