  • The UK general election of 1880 was a general election in the United Kingdom held from March to April 1880. At the culmination of Midlothian campaign, the Liberals, led by the fierce oratory of retired former Liberal leader William Gladstone in attacking the supposedly immoral foreign policy of the Disraeli government, secured one of their largest ever majorities in the election, leaving the Conservatives a distant second. As a result of the campaign, the Liberal leaders, Lord Hartington and Lord Granville, withdrew in favour of Gladstone, who thus became Prime Minister a second time.
  • Las elecciones generales del Reino Unido de 1880 tuvieron lugar entre marzo y abril de 1880. Los liberales llevaron a cabo una agresiva campaña contra la, a su modo de ver, inmoral política exterior de Benjamin Disraeli. La que se conocería como la Campaña de Midlothian consistió en una serie de discursos, de hasta cinco horas de duración, del líder liberal William Ewart Gladstone. Se considera que esta fue la primera campaña electoral moderna. La fiereza de Gladstone y su soberbia oratoria aseguraron a los liberales una de las más aplastantes mayorías electorales de su historia. Tras las elecciones, dirigentes liberales como Lord Hartington y Lord Granville decidieron apoyar a Gladstone, que así alcanzaría el cargo de primer ministro por segunda vez.
