| 释义 |
The 1880 Derby by-election was held when the incumbent Liberal MP Samuel Plimsoll resigned to find a seat for the recently unseated Home Secretary William Vernon Harcourt. The Liberals had formed a government after winning the 1880 general election and Harcourt, a well known radical and talented debater, had been offered the job of Home Secretary. Under the law at the time he had to resign his seat and seek re-election. In a close fought by-election Harcourt lost his Oxford seat. Samuel Plimsoll immediately resigned and Harcourt was unopposed in the subsequent by-election.[1]References1. ^https://books.google.com/books?id=fASYFMKoTRIC&pg=PA74&lpg=PA74&dq=Dover+by-election+1871&source=bl&ots=orIV4L8bFN&sig=kjqXM2olBdAEmv_Y9WrNicBSYjE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=XtG9UvCYGrTN7Aaa44GoAQ&ved=0CC8Q6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=Dover%20by-election%201871&f=false {{By-elections to the 22nd UK Parliament}}{{England-UK-Parl-by-election-stub}} 5 : By-elections to the Parliament of the United Kingdom in Derbyshire constituencies|Unopposed by-elections to the Parliament of the United Kingdom in English constituencies|1880 elections in the United Kingdom|1880 in England|19th century in Derbyshire |
