Inside Britain influential groups, especially based in the opposition Liberal Party formed immediately. They fought ineffectually against the British war policies, which were supported by the Conservative Party of Prime Minister Salisbury. - A Member of Parliament (MP) is the representative of the voters to a parliament.

Also known as the khaki election ( the first of several elections to bear this sobriquet ) , it was held at a time when it was widely believed that the Second Boer War had effectively been won ( though in fact it was to continue for a further two years ) . The Conservatives , led by Lord Salisbury with their Liberal Unionist allies , secured a large majority of 130 , despite securing only 5.6 % more votes than Henry Campbell - Bannerman 's Liberals .
