He made the national news at the age of sixteen by speaking at the Conservative party's 1977 national conference. In his speech he reminded the attendees that "Most of you won't be here in 30 or 40 years time" but that he would have to live with consequences of the Labour government if they stayed in power. Subsequently, Hague went to Magdalen College, Oxford, and while there he was President of both the Conservative Association ...

Sir Robert Walpole's position was threatened in 1727, when George I died and was succeeded by George II. For a few days, it seemed that Walpole would be dismissed, but the King agreed to keep him in office upon the advice of Queen Caroline. Although the King disliked Townshend, he retained him as well. Over the next years, Walpole continued to share power with Townshend, but gradually became the clearly dominant partner in government. The two clashed over British foreign affairs, especially over policy regarding Prussia, but Walpole was ulti ...

Adonis is said to be an education policy expert. In his role at the Number 10 Policy Unit, Adonis is generally accepted as having driven most of Labour's key education reforms since the 1997 general election, [18] including, "Top-Up Fees", "City Academies" and "Fresh Start". The strategy of the "Fresh Start" policy was to close and reopen "failing schools" with new names and new staff. In 2000, when the experiment began to fail dramaticall ...

Major introduced a replacement for the Community Charge, the Council Tax, and continued with the privatisations, and went on to narrowly win the 1992 election with a majority of 21. However, his first full term was beset with scandals. Many of these were purely about the personal lives of politicians which the media attempted to construe as hypocrisy, but the Cash for Questions affair and the divisions over EU were substantive. In 1995, Major resigned as Leader of the Conservative Party in order to trigger a leadership election which ...

Through the 1950s and into the 1960s the Liberals survived only because a handful of constituencies in rural Scotland and Wales clung to their Liberal traditions, whilst in two English towns, Bolton and Huddersfield local Liberals and Conservatives agreed to each contest only one of the town's two seats. Jo Grimond, for example, who became Liberal leader in 1956, was MP for the remote Orkney and Shetland islands. Under his leadership a Liberal revival began, marked by the famous Orpington by-election of March 1962 which was won by Eric Lubbo ...

Cavalry forces played a significant role at Gettysburg only on the first and third days of the battle. On the first day (July 1, 1863), the Union cavalry division of Brigadier General John Buford successfully delayed the Confederate infantry forces under Major General Henry Heth until Union infantry could arrive on the battlefield. By the end of the day, Buford's troopers had retired from the field. On the Confederate side, Maj. Gen. J.E.B. Stuart's cavalry division was absent from the battlefield until late on the second day.

In the early 19th century, the Irish composer and virtuoso pianist John Field was highly influentual in his style of playing which is thought to have been an inspiration to Schumann, Chopin and Liszt. He is credited with having invented the nocturne as a musical form. Later in the century, another Irishman, Charles Villiers Stanford would also exert a strong musical influence.

Alfred was founded in 1836 as the Select School by Seventh Day Baptists as a non-sectarian institution. Unusually for the time, the school was co-educational. It was also racially integrated, and enrolled its first African-American student and two Native American students in the 1850s, becoming the second college in the nation to do so. The origin of the name "Alfred" is uncertain. Residents of the town and students at the two schools believe that the town received its name in honor of Alfred the Great, king of the Saxons, alth ...

Elections in the United Kingdom - Electoral reform. Electoral reform is currently an important issue in UK politics. The current First Past the Post system used for general elections does not link the number of seats won to the share of the national vote. Some people assert that the electoral system ought to make such a connection, and therefore campaign for a change. The introduction of proportional representation has been advocated for some time by the Liberal Democrats, and some pressure groups such as ...
