The 1830 UK general election, fought in the aftermath of the Swing Riots, saw electoral reform as a major election issue. The Tories won a majority over the Whigs, but division among Tory MPs allowed Earl Grey to form an effective government and take the question of electoral reform to the country the following year.
The election produced the first parliament of the reign of William IV.
