Melbourne was a reluctant supporter of the 1832 parliamentary Reform Bill that increased the franchise and removed some "rotten boroughs" -- parliamentary districts with small malleable electorates under the control of a special interest.
Melbourne was not forceful enough in suggesting the Queen comply with Peel and overly associated her with the Whig Party.

Melbourne was crushed by her change in opinion of him, recounting their days together as the 'happiest of his life,' while for her, those days were over.

 Melbourne Did You Mean melbourne
Melbourne is the capital and largest city of the state of Victoria, and the second largest city in Australia (after Sydney), with a population of 3.8 million in the Melbourne metropolitan area (June 2004) and 69,670 in the City of Melbourne (which covers only the central city area).
Melbourne has undergone a major urban 'revival', such that it is sometimes classed as being in a second tier of "world cities"; the GaWC study group in the UK ranks Melbourne, on the basis of relative availability of specialised "advanced services" as a "minor world city" comparable to cities such as Montreal, Osaka, and Prague.
Melbourne is often referred to as Australia's second city given its secondary ranking to Sydney in terms of population.
