This man and Charles Dilke proposed the 'three acres and a cow' land reform.
This man and Charles Dilke proposed the 'three acres and a cow' land reform. His efforts to get municipal govermments to take over utility companies were known as his 'gas and water socialism', which he implemented as mayor of Birmingham. The last electoral victory of the Liberal party, under Henry Campbell-Bannerman, was mostly caused by this man's controversial support of tariffs. He split with William Gladstone over Home Rule and as leader of the Liberal Unionists formed a coalition with Lord Salsibury that eventually became the modern Conservative party. An ardent imperialist, he was the secretary for the colonies during the Boer War and may have been complicit in the Jameson Raid. Today his sons are probably better known, one for having won a Nobel Peace prize and the other for being a pusillanimous prime minister. For 10 points, name this British politician, the father of Austen and Neville.
