1892 vote of no confidence against the government of the Marquess of Salisbury
The 1892 vote of no confidence against the government of the Marquess of Salisbury occurred when the Conservative Party government of Robert Cecil, the Marquess of Salisbury decided to meet Parliament after the general election despite not winning a majority. The government presented a Queen's Speech, but was defeated on 11 August 1892 when the House of Commons carried by 350 to 310 an amendment moved by the opposition Liberal Party declaring that Her Majesty's "present advisers" did not possess the confidence of the House. After the vote Salisbury resigned and Liberal Party leader William Ewart Gladstone became Prime Minister for the fourth time.
==Background==
With polling in the general election taking place over several weeks, the state of play with regard to party gains could be monitored each day. ''The Times'' noted that as the Conservatives and Liberal Unionists together had a majority of 66 in the outgoing House, it would take 33 net seat gains by the Gladstonian side to win (which counted Liberals together with Liberal-Labour members, and Irish Nationalists whether supporters or opponents of Charles Stewart Parnell). The result of elections up to 11 July gave the Liberals 31 gains,〔"The New Parliament", ''The Times'', 12 July 1892, p. 6.〕 and on 12 July the Gladstonians made further progress to reach a total of 36 net gains.〔"The New Parliament", ''The Times'', 13 July 1892, p. 6.〕''The Times'' Leader column noted that the leading Liberal Sir William Harcourt had begun estimating the size of the eventual Gladstonian majority, although the Irish did not class themselves as such and that a majority dependent on their support would not be stable.〔''The Times'', 13 July 1892, p. 9.〕
With almost all election results known, on 21 July ''The Times'' noted that it was for William Ewart Gladstone to succeed "in uniting, for the moment, the multifarious elements of the motley majority against the Government, to shape that advice so as to compel LORD SALISBURY's resignation".〔''The Times'', 21 July 1892, p. 9.〕 When returns from all seats came in, the Gladstonian Liberals had 272 seats, with their likely allies bringing them up to 355, while the Conservatives and Liberal Unionists had 315. As the Liberal Party did not have a majority of seats on its own, the Prime Minister the Marquess of Salisbury did not immediately offer his resignation.
On 3 August, Gladstone met with the Anti-Parnellite leaders Justin McCarthy and John Dillon, agreeing that the no confidence motion should be put as soon as possible (preferably on Tuesday 9 August) and that there would be only one or two speeches in the debate from the Anti-Parnellite side.〔"Political Notes", ''The Times'', 4 August 1892, p. 7.〕 The much smaller Parnellites were determined to maintain their independence of other parties, and a resolution to this effect was passed when the Irish National League met in Dublin on 4 August.〔"Ireland", ''The Times'', 5 August 1892, p. 9.〕 Both groups determined to continue to sit on the opposition side of the House after a change of government, but it was always clear that they intended to support the no confidence motion.
