The [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative]] government of the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland]] that began in 1866 and ended in 1868 was led by [[Edward Smith-Stanley, 14th Earl of Derby]] in the [[House of Lords]] and [[Benjamin Disraeli]] in the [[House of Commons of the United Kingdom|House of Commons]].

==History== Lord Derby became prime minister for the third time, after the fall of [[John Russell, 1st Earl Russell]]'s [[Liberal Government 1859-1866|Liberal government]], in 1866. His Chancellor of the Exchequer, Benjamin Disraeli, was instrumental in passing the [[Reform Act 1867|Second Reform Act]] in 1867.

After the parliamentary session, which produced the Second Reform Bill, Disraeli's eventual assumption of the [[Leader of the Conservative Party (UK)|leadership]] of the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] was all but assured. While he was still opposed by elements of the party's right wing (most notably [[Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury]], himself a future prime minister), his role in securing the passage of the bill, in particular his showing against [[William Ewart Gladstone]], had won him the adulation of a wide base of the parliamentary party. The only unknown was the health of the Earl of Derby, still very much prime minister, Conservative leader, and Disraeli's colleague.

Derby's health, however, had been in decline for some time, and he finally resigned in February and advised [[Queen Victoria]] to send for Disraeli. Thus on 27 February 1868 Benjamin Disraeli became [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom]]. He reportedly said of the event later, "I have climbed to the top of the greasy pole." <!-- Blake, 485-487 --> However, the Conservatives were still a minority in the House of Commons, and the enaction of the Reform Bill required the calling of new election. Disraeli's term as prime minister would therefore be fairly short, unless the Conservatives managed to win the general election.

Although all the cabinet posts were at his disposal, Disraeli made only a few changes: he replaced [[Frederic Thesiger, 1st Baron Chelmsford|Lord Chelmsford]] as [[Lord Chancellor]] with [[Hugh Cairns, 1st Earl Cairns|Lord Cairns]], and brought in [[George Ward Hunt]] as [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]]. Disraeli and Chelmsford had never got on, and in Disraeli's view, Cairns was a far stronger minister. <!--Blake, 487-489--> He also chose the [[James Harris, 3rd Earl of Malmesbury|Earl of Malmesbury]] to succeed Derby as Leader in the House of Lords.

===The Irish Church=== {{Further|Irish Church Act 1869}} The principal issue of the 1868 parliamentary session was the [[Irish question]], manifested this time in the debate over the [[Anglican]] [[Church of Ireland]].

===Fate=== The Conservatives were defeated by the Liberals in the [[1868 United Kingdom general election|general election of 1868]], and the new Liberal leader [[William Ewart Gladstone]] formed [[Liberal Government 1868-1874|his first government]].
