| | Conservative Party (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Conservative modernisers point to Afriyie's election as evidence that the party is changing, though opponents argue that the election of a single black MP, in what is essentially a safe seat, doesn't count for much against the anti-immigration campaign fought by the Conservatives in 2005. | | | Though the Conservatives were the dominant governing party in the United Kingdom between 1834 and 1997, since losing the 1997 election to the Labour Party under Tony Blair, they have been in 'opposition' in Parliament. | | | Anticipating the growing euroscepticism within his party, John Major negotiated a British opt-out from the single currency in the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, although several members of Major's cabinet (Kenneth Clarke, Michael Heseltine, Stephen Dorrell) were personally supportive of EMU participation. |

| | The party received a resounding defeat in the 1997 elections, and Major was replaced as party leader by William Hague. | | | The Reform Bill of 1832 (see Reform Acts), which created some 500,000 middle-class voters, marked the advent of the new party. | | | Popularity diminished temporarily during the Suez Canal crisis, but favorable economic conditions and the political skill of Harold Macmillan, who headed the government after Eden’s resignation (1957), resulted in a solid electoral victory in 1959. |
