Robert Jenkinson, 2nd Earl of Liverpool, succeeds…
June 1812 CE
The cabinet had proposed Liverpool as his successor with Lord Castlereagh as leader in the Commons, but after an adverse vote in the Lower House, they subsequently give both their resignations.
The Prince Regent, however, finds it impossible to form a different coalition and confirms Liverpool as prime minister on June 8.
Liverpool's government contains some of the future great leaders of Britain, such as Lord Castlereagh, George Canning, the Duke of Wellington, Robert Peel, and William Huskisson.
Liverpool is considered a skilled politician, and holds together the liberal and reactionary wings of the Tory party, with which his successors, Canning, Goderich and Wellington, will have great difficulty..
