<p>The <b>1841 United Kingdom general election</b>, was held between 29 June and 22 July 1841 to elect the new Parliament of the United Kingdom. In this election, there was a large swing as <a href="/wiki/Robert_Peel" title="Robert Peel">Sir Robert Peel</a>'s Conservatives took control of the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Commons_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="House of Commons of the United Kingdom">House of Commons</a>. Melbourne's Whigs had seen their support in the Commons erode over the previous years. Whilst Melbourne enjoyed the firm support of the young <a href="/wiki/Queen_Victoria" title="Queen Victoria">Queen Victoria</a>, his ministry had seen increasing defeats in the Commons, culminating in the defeat of the government's budget in May 1841 by 36 votes, and by 1 vote in a 4 June 1841 vote of no confidence put forward by Peel. According to precedent, Melbourne's defeat required his resignation. However, the cabinet decided to ask for a dissolution, which was opposed by Melbourne personally (he wished to resign, as he had attempted in 1839), but he came to accept the wishes of the ministers. Melbourne requested the Queen dissolve Parliament, leading to an election.<sup id="cite_ref-Betty_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Betty-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Queen thus prorogued Parliament on 22 June.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Conservatives campaigned mainly on an <a href="/wiki/Tamworth_Manifesto" title="Tamworth Manifesto">11-point programme</a> modified from their previous electoral effort and designed by Peel, whilst the Whigs emphasised reforming the <a href="/wiki/Corn_Laws" title="Corn Laws">import duties on corn</a>, replacing the existing sliding scale with a uniform rate. The Whig position lost them support amongst protectionists, and the Whigs saw heavy losses in constituencies like the <a href="/wiki/West_Riding_of_Yorkshire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)" title="West Riding of Yorkshire (UK Parliament constituency)">West Riding</a>, where aristocratic Whig families who held a strong tradition of unbroken representation in Parliament were rejected by the electorate. </p><p>O'Connell, who had been governing with the Whigs through a <a href="/wiki/Lichfield_House_Compact" title="Lichfield House Compact">compact</a>, felt the government's unpopularity rub off on him.
