suffered great loses in the stock market. He tried to introduce himself in the parliment for

four times from 1832 to 1835. The first time in the radical party and the others in the tory

party. He tried to gain backup for his politic program, that is why he defended company

workers.A proyect he proposed was that everybody could vote but it wasent aproved.

backup. He impulsed the legislation against the tendencies of the catholic church in the

    Of course Pitt’s early political career was very important, as it is essential to recognise that he achieved his post as Prime Minister only by cleverly and politically climbing up the political ladder. During the 1780 elections, Pitt contested the “University of Cambridge” seat, but unfortunately lost. However during the next year of 1781, Pitt entered the House of Commons, within a year of entering the House of Commons, Pitt was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Death of Lord Rockingham was also very important for Pitt’s rise to power. Many Whigs who had formed a part of the Rockingham ministry, including Charles James Fox, now refused to serve under the new Prime Minister. Pitt, however, was comfortable joining the Shelburne Government; he was appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer (making use of his mathematics education).…

He started to walk to London with only seven-shillings-and-sixpence in his pocket, which sum was spent before he arrived at his destination.

    The split of the Conservative in 1846 due to the repeal of the Corn Laws and the following death of Bentinck were important factors in allowing Disraeli to become the leader of the Conservative Party. Disraeli was instrumental in the split of the Conservative Party, being the leader of the vicious attacks on the authority and reputation of Sir Robert Peel. Despite being a fantastic showcase of his speaking abilities, these attacks led to many of the more experienced and higher status politicians leaving the Conservatives Party, to join Peel in the Peelites group. The split left the Conservatives with little leadership, and it also opportunely put Disraeli in contact with Lord George Bentinck who status ensured that many of the remaining Conservatives were happy to follow the pair. Coinciding with Disraeli’s seeming reinvention, in 1847, he became ‘Knight of the Shire’ of Bucks and financed by his new patrons the Bentinck’s, he became a true dandy, more of a landed country gentleman. The death of Bentinck in 1848 left Disraeli as the only potential leader of the Conservatives, in the House of Commons. The split of the Conservative Party and Bentinck’s death were important in Disraeli’s emergence, however it was his oratory and political skill which largely caused the split, therefore being an underlying cause of a factor of his own success.…

    Both men, who served as Prime Ministers, reformed many institutions with many of them effecting the working class like education (bringing up the working class), trade union (helping the working class fight for work wrights), public health (living conditions affecting the working class) and licensing (the way many working class people passed the time), along with the electoral institution (workers being able to vote on the matters which the work upon, such as factory conditions and education).

However, some historians, such as Monypenny and Buckle, say that Benjamin Disraeli, the Conservative Prime Minister, did more to help the working class, including passing the Second Great Reform Act of 1867.…
