	Peelite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Peelites were a breakaway faction of the British Conservative Party, and existed from 1846 to 1859.
		The Peelites were characterised by commitment to Free Trade and a managerial, almost technocratic, approach to government.
		After Peel's death in 1850, the Peelite faction was led by Lord Aberdeen, who became the only Peelite prime minister in 1852 by forming a government in coalition with the Whigs.

		Following Peel's death in 1850 after a horse riding accident, the Peelite faction was led by Lord Aberdeen, who became the only Peelite prime minister in 1852 by forming a government in coalition with the Whigs.
		The Peelites maintained their group for the next couple of years though by the 1857 election their numbers in the House of Commons had shrunk to 18 from around 40 held at the 1852 election.
		The Peelites finally disappeared as a party when they agreed to join forces with the Whigs, Radicals and Irish Brigade MPs to bring down the Conservative government of Earl of Derby in 1859.

		After the fall of the Aberdeen government, the Peelite faction slowly disintegrated, with the final blow being the acceptance by several leading Peelites (including Gladstone, Cardwell, and Newcastle) of cabinet posts in the Liberal administration of Lord Palmerston in 1859.
		Many Peelites fused with the Whigs and Radicals to form the Liberal Party, though some also returned to the Conservatives.
		As a result of losing much of the Peelite faction and its sympathizers, the Conservative Party would not be able to form another majority government for a generation, until after the 1874 general election.

		Both the Queen and her husband vigorously encouraged the formation of a strong coalition between the Whigs and the Peelite Tories.
		Such a ministry was indeed formed, with the Peelite Lord Aberdeen at its head.
		One of the most significant acts of the new ministry was to bring the United Kingdom into the Crimean War in 1854, on the side of the Ottoman Empire and against Russia.

	Liberalism in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, the derogatory connotation is weaker in the UK than in the U.S., and social liberals from both the left- and right-wing continue to use "liberal" and "illiberal" to describe themselves and their opponents, respectively.
		Historically, the term referred to the broad left-wing political alliance of the nineteenth century, formed by Whigs, Peelites, and radicals.
		This alliance, which developed into the Liberal Party, dominated politics for much of the reign of Queen Victoria and during the years before World War I.

		When Peel died in 1850, Aberdeen took over leadership of the Peelites, a group that refused to be absorbed by any other parliamentary grouping.
		In 1852, the Queen asked Aberdeen to form a ministry; he did so saying 'the new government should not be a revival of the old Whig Cabinet with the addition of some Peelites, but should be a Liberal Conservative government in the sense of that of Sir Robert Peel'.
		He was determined to form a coalition but found that the only way in which he could secure a majority in the Commons was to seek the help of the Irish.

	Encyclopedia: The Liberal Party (UK)
		In 1841 the Liberals lost office to the Conservatives under Sir Robert Peel, but their period in opposition was short, because the Conservatives split over the repeal of the Corn Laws, a free trade issue, and a faction known as the Peelites (but not Peel himself, who died soon after), defected to the Liberal side.
		This allowed ministries led by Russell, Palmerston and the Peelite Lord Aberdeen to hold office for most of the 1850s and 1860s.
		The leading Peelite was William Ewart Gladstone, who was a zealous reforming Chancellor of the Exchequer in most of these governments.

		While the legislation was ineffective, Russell had alienated both the high minded, High Church Peelites and the bulk of Irish MPs, dependent on Catholic voters.
		Despite reduced numbers, the Peelites retained the balance of power and dominated the cabinet, taking six out of thirteen posts.
		Those leading Peelites not excluded by the roles they had played in the administration of the war resigned from the government when Palmerston accepted Roebuck’s motion.

		The 1852 UK general election was very close, Lord John Russell's Whigs again winning the popular vote, but once again Conservative candidates won a very slight majority.
		Again the 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 soon collapsed, bringing about a Peelite-Whig coalition government under Lord Aberdeen, one of the leading Peelites, which collapsed during the Crimean War.

		Gladstone assembled the Liberal Party in the mid-nineteenth century from the remnants of the pro-free trade Peelites, aristocratic Whigs, and reform-oriented Radicals.
		Under Gladstone's leadership, the Liberals dominated British politics through much of Queen Victoria's long reign and were primarily responsible for the extension of the franchise to virtually the entire adult male British population.
		This was the same issue that split Gladstone and the Peelites from the Conservatives.

		The glue to bind the various factions together was provided by the Peelites, a small but influential band of free-trade Conservatives, who broke with their party in 1846 over the abolition of the Corn Laws (duties on imports of grain).
		Free trade, which appealed both to the radicals and working classes (because it kept food cheap) and the industrial manufacturers (because it made it easier for them to export) became a pre-eminent Liberal cause well into the twentieth century.
		The Liberal Party was finally formed on 6 June 1859, when Whigs, Peelites and Radicals met at Willis’ Rooms in St James Street, London, to overthrow a minority Conservative government.

		Whilst former Tory Prime Minister Robert Peel came from an era very different to today's, he was closely associated with the causes of internationalism and free trade - causes which the Conservative Party abandoned in Peel's time and have abandoned again in recent years.
		His supporters, the Peelites, subsequently joined the Liberal Party.
		But our name has a second meaning, we are seeking to "peel" away at traditional Tory support and ensure that areas which were once considered "true blue" fall to the Liberal Democrats.

		As Foreign Secretary again (1841-1846) in the second government of Sir Robert Peel, Aberdeen settled disputes over the eastern and western boundaries between Canada and the United States.
		When Derby's Government was defeated in the Commons, Aberdeen was summoned by Queen Victoria and appointed First Lord of the Treasury (19 Dec 1852) with the task to form a coalition Government of Peelites, Whigs and radicals.
		His Cabinet included Lord John Russell as Foreign Secretary, Viscount Palmerston as Home Secretary and William E. Gladstone as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and controlling it proved too much of a challenge for the former diplomat.

		Let me add to what I have said that ten Whigs, members of former Cabinets, are omitted in this, while only two Peelites are omitted, and one entirely new is admitted--Argyll.
		It appears to me to be thus shown, beyond dispute or question, that it was the Whigs and not the Peelites who, after the distribution of offices had been fully agreed on, and approved by the Queen, sought to modify the arrangements effected.
		Whether the Whigs had or had not cause for their discontent is another question, on which it is unnecessary now to enter.

		Thus, from the observed voting figures we can calculate that 49.61 per cent of MPs (100191/385) voted for the motion, and the expected number to vote for the motion for either of the parties/factions will be equivalent to the number of their MPs adjusted by this percentage (150191/385 in the case of Liberal MPs).
