Artifact 17

Benjamin Disraeli (conservative guy) and William Gladstone (liberal party guy)  were famous politics in Britain in 19th century. Two statements heated each other. They had very different social origins though. Disraeli was educated in "not surely good school" and he never went to university. His younger brothers attended the superior Winchester College.  Gladstone's youth was respectfull. Sir Robert Peel,( British Statesman and Prime Minister) decided to complete his policy of free trade by repealing the Corn Laws as a result of Irish famine in late 1840s. He thought that it will protect britain from cheap foreign grain. It was an opportunity for Disraeli, and he attacked Peel with ready for action, Peel's answers were poor and soon he was forsed to turn down his decicion. Anyway Disraeli became a prime minister and than Benjamin and William "met face to face". In 1874 the tide turned, and Disraeli - to his own surprise - won the first clear Conservative victory since Sir Robert Peel in 1841. Benjamin was afraid of foreign and imperial policy. Disraeli's love affair with the Queen began, she lost a part of her power.   
      For me it's hard to compare these two persons, Benjamin Disraeli and William Gladstone, they are too different and their political views are too differing too, but actually, I don't like Conservatism, because the world should move on, have new ideas, but don't look at past and think only about thinks that are gone.
