 | | Whig Representative Lewis Campbell of Ohio was particularly distraught by the defeat, exclaiming, "We are slayed. | | | The Whigs pledged themselves to Congressional supremacy, as opposed to the executive action taken by Jackson in removing deposits from the Bank without the consent of Congress, as well as his veto of the recharter of the Bank. | | | In its early form the Whig Party was united only by opposition to the policies of President Andrew Jackson, especially his removal of the deposits from the Bank of the United States. |

| | It was only after the death of George IV, in 1830, that the Whigs finally returned to power, and the administration of Lord Grey, finally in office, accomplished a number of important reform measures — most notably the parliamentary Reform Act 1832 and the abolition of slavery. | | | With succession in 1714, when Elector George Louis of Hanover became King George I, the Whigs returned to government. | | | This article is about the British Whig party. |

| | The admission of the middle classes to the franchise and to the House of Commons led eventually to the development of a systematic middle class liberalism and the end of Whiggery, although for many years reforming aristocrats held senior positions in the party. | | | The Reform Act was the climax of Whiggery, but also brought about the Whigs' demise. | | | The leading Radicals were John Bright and Richard Cobden, who represented the manufacturing towns which had gained representation under the Reform Act. |

| | This was re-enforced by the breakup of the Whig party in 1794 when the conservative group led by the Duke of Portland joined Pitt& government - leaving an opposition rump lead by Charles James Fox. | | | Currently this term is considered to be derogatory by some British Conservatives since many UK voters associate it with uncomplimentary recollections of the governments of Margaret Thatcher and John Major. | | | George I, who had already formed a Whig ministry upon his accession in 1714, dismissed the remaining Tories from office and as a party they were confined to the wilderness for half a century, though occasionally individual Tories held office in the Whig ministries of George I and George II. |

| | In the UK, this tends to be referred to (usually pejoratively) as "Thatcherism", though as a political and economic philosophy it long pre-dates Margaret Thatcher's term as Prime Minister. | | | It's worth comparing this with the Political Compass site's estimated plots of UK political parties' positions on the compass, and of US presidential candidates' positions (the British/European perspective of the Political Compass can probably be seen in the fact that both Kerry and Bush are depicted as being some way to the right of centre). | | | The picture is complicated by the fact that, in the UK, the "Whig" and "Tory" positions are now largely represented by a single political party, the Conservative Party, whose nickname is "the Tories". |
