United Kingdom general election, 1892

1892 election

The 1892 UK general election was held from 4th – 26th July 1892. It saw the Conservatives, led by Lord Salisbury, win the greatest number of seats, but not enough for an overall majority as William Gladstone's Liberals won many more seats than in the 1886 general election. Despite being split between Parnellite and anti-Parnellite factions, the Irish Nationalist vote held up well, leaving Gladstone to form a minority coalition dependent on Irish Nationalist support.
