Liberal government, 1892–1895

In the 1892 general election, the Conservative Party, led by the Marquess of Salisbury, won the most seats but not an overall majority. As a result, William Gladstone's Liberal Party formed a minority government that relied upon Irish Nationalist support. On 3 March 1894, Gladstone resigned over the rejection of his Home Rule Bill and the Earl of Rosebery succeeded him.

William Gladstone led the Government from 1892 to 1894 and was succeeded by Lord Rosebery.
Rosebery led the Government from 1894. He was defeated in the 1895 general election.
