MPs elected in the British general election, 1754 This is a list of MPs or members of Parliament elected to the Parliament of Great Britain in 1754, for the 11th Parliament of Great Britain. The reference, in the constituency section of the table, to the numbers of seats in a constituency has no relevance except to make clear how many members were elected in a particular constituency. The candidates returned in contested elections are listed in the descending order of the number of votes received. Where vote totals are unknown, the MPs received the same number of votes or were returned unopposed the order is that given by Namier and Brooke. The Tory versus Whig party division, which had originated in the Exclusion Bill debates in the seventeenth century, was almost extinct by 1754. Whilst some members were still identifiable as being of a Tory or Whig persuasion, few contested elections turned on party cries. The hotly contested Oxfordshire and Reading elections were amongst the few where party in the old sense mattered at all and 1754 was the last such election in those areas. Identification by party in the list below is therefore of limited significance, particularly as to the future loyalties of the politician concerned. For what it is worth the government electoral manager, Viscount Dupplin, reported to the Whig Prime Minister (Thomas Pelham-Holles, 1st Duke of Newcastle) that the outcome of the election was Administration 368, Tory 106, Opposition Whig 42 and doubtful 26. Peers of Ireland are differentiated from the holders of courtesy titles by including the succession number to the peerage, i.e. ''The 1st Earl of Upper Ossory'' is an Irish peer and ''Viscount Dupplin'' is the holder of a courtesy title. __NOTOC__ {| class="wikitable" |- | colspan="3" bgcolor="ccccff" | == A == |- |Aberdeen Burghs (seat 1/1) |David Scott |Administration |- |Aberdeenshire (seat 1/1) |Lord Adam Gordon |Administration |- |Abingdon (seat 1/1) |John Morton |Tory |- |Aldborough (seat 1/2) |William Pitt |Administration |- |Aldborough (seat 2/2) |Andrew Wilkinson |Administration |- |Aldeburgh (seat 1/2) |William Windham |Administration |- |Aldeburgh (seat 2/2) |Zachary Philip Fonnereau |Administration |- |Amersham (seat 1/2) |William Drake, Sr |Tory |- |Amersham (seat 2/2) |Isaac Whittington |Tory |- |Andover (seat 1/2) |John Griffin Whitwell |Administration |- |Andover (seat 2/2) |Francis Blake Delaval |Opposition Whig |- |Anglesey (seat 1/1) |Sir Nicholas Bayly, Bt |Country (Admin.) |- |Anstruther Easter Burghs (seat 1/1) |Sir Henry Erskine, Bt |Administration |- |Appleby (seat 1/2) |Philip Honywood |Administration |- |Appleby (seat 2/2) |William Lee |Administration |- |Argyllshire (seat 1/1) |Dugald Campbell |Administration |- |Arundel (seat 1/2) |George Colebrooke |Opposition Whig |- |Arundel (seat 2/2) |Thomas Griffin |Administration |- |Ashburton (seat 1/2) |John Harris of Hayne |Administration |- |Ashburton (seat 2/2) |The 3rd Viscount Midleton |Administration |- |Aylesbury (seat 1/2) |Thomas Potter |doubtful |- |Aylesbury (seat 2/2) |John Willes |Administration |- |Ayr Burghs (seat 1/1) |James Stuart-Mackenzie |Administration |- |Ayrshire (seat 1/1) |James Mure-Campbell |Administration |- |colspan="3"| 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of MPs elected in the British general election, 1754」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
