Marquess of Salisbury Conservative William Ewart Gladstone Liberal The 1892 United Kingdom general election was held from 4 to 26 July 1892.

The Liberal Unionists who had previously supported the Conservative government saw their vote and seat numbers go down.

Despite being split between Parnellite and anti-Parnellite factions, the Irish Nationalist vote held up well.

As the Liberals did not have a majority on their own, Salisbury refused to resign on hearing the election results and waited to be defeated in a vote of no confidence on 11 August.

Gladstone formed a minority government dependent on Irish Nationalist support.
