Liberal Party's Victory in the 1906 General Election

Liberal Party Victory in the General Election in 1906 In the general election of 1906, the Liberal Party has increased the number of seats from 400 to 400 people now from 1900. By contrast, conservatives reigned British politics from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. For centuries, in 1906 nearly half of the seats, 402 to 157 were lost. This sudden change occurred due to the combination of liberalism and conservative weakness at this point, and other conditions.

Therefore, the direct cause of the Liberal Party 's victory in the 1906 election was a conservative party' s failure in key areas. A lack of thought out and failure to provide social reform means that many people lose confidence in the Conservative Party and are looking forward to the other parties the Liberal Party. The Liberal Party himself attacked Conservative issues and before the election of 1906 they had no more radical ideas to gain more support. Criticism of conservatives (especially China's slavery and tariff reform) and their own good support policies have contributed to the strong campaign. This increased support for the Liberal Party and brought overwhelming victory in 1906.

After the general election in 1906, Liberal party leader Henry Campbell - Bannerman became the new prime minister. Lloyd George was appointed chairman of the Trade Commission. In 1908 Prime Minister Henry Ascitt promoted him to Prime Minister Exchequer (tax department). Lloyd George has the opportunity to introduce the reform that he had since the time he first came to the House. Lloyd George has long opposed Britain's "poor law" for a long time. He has made up his mind to act, and in his words he decided "to lift the shadow of the studio from the house of the poor". He believes that the best way to do this is to ensure the income of people who are too old to work. Based on the view that Tom Payne first appeared in his book "Human Rights" in 1791, Lloyd George's "old-age pension" (old-age pension) act) For those over the age of 70, 1 shilling per week and 5 Shilling.
