		The 1922 Committee is the Conservative backbenchers’ “trade union”, serving to represent Conservative opinion in the House of Commons.
		The forebears of the present-day Conservatives were the Cavaliers of the 17th century and the Tories of the 18th and 19th centuries.
		As a result the Conservatives were excluded from effective majority government until 1874 in favour of the Liberal Party, the main opposition to the Conservative Party from 1832 until after 1918.

	1922 Committee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In British politics, the 1922 Committee consists of all backbench Conservative Members of Parliament, though when the party is in opposition, frontbench MPs other than the party leader may also attend its meetings.
		The 1922 Committee has an 18-member executive committee, the chairman of which must oversee any election of a new party leader, or any vote of confidence for the current one; such a vote can be triggered by 15 percent of Tory MPs writing a letter to the chairman asking for such a vote.
		The committee was formed in 1923, but takes its name from the 1922 General Election.

	Conservative History Group - key information fact sheet
		The leaders of Conservative MPs and Conservative peers were regarded as coequal unless one of them was either the Prime Minister or a former Prime Minister, or if a particular crisis (as in 1846 - 1847 or 1916) had resulted in one clearly asserting authority over the other.
		In the periods when this was not the case (1881 - 1885, 1911 - 1916, 1921 - 1922) there was no clear "Leader of the Conservative Party" - this contributed to some of the internal party conflict at the time.
		From 1922 an overall leader has been formally elected by a joint meeting of MPs, Peers and prospective parliamentary candidates, even when the party is in opposition.

		The most important members of the 1922 Committee are the officers elected each year as members of its Executive Committee.
		If a Conservative leader or other senior figure loses the support of the 1922 Committee then they could be in a particularly vulnerable position, as Conservative cabinets and shadow cabinets are normally expected to take the views of the committee very seriously.

		Wednesday's meeting of the Conservative backbench 1922 committee may have marked a watershed in the history of Britain's political parties.
		Not since the Carlton Club meeting of October 1922, which forced the resignation of Austen Chamberlain as leader (and gave the Tory backbench organisation its name), have Tory MPs acted so decisively to shape the direction of their party.
		The reason for the vote in the 1922 committee is particular; Tory MPs do not trust Tory members because those members, as they showed by electing Iain Duncan Smith rather than Ken Clarke in 2001, have moved well to the right of the electorate.
