Yes and No is an 1828 novel by the British writer and politician Lord Normanby, originally published in two volumes.

It was part of the popular genre of silver fork novels which focused on the British upper classes in the later Regency era.

[1] During an election to Parliament, the stridently radical Whig Oakley stands against the liberal Canningite Tory Germain.

Thanks to dealmaking organised by the rakish dandy Fitzalbert, Germain is elected thanks to a deal with the Ultra-Tory Steadman and his reactionary supporters.

Oakley then inherits his uncle's estate and titles and enters Parliament as a lord, but is killed in a duel with Fitzalbert.
