Všeobecné volby ve Spojeném království v lednu 1910 se konaly od 15. ledna10. února 1910. Konaly se v návaznosti na ústavní krizi vzniklou bezprecedentním vetováním rozpočtu Sněmovnou lordů.

Pozadí

Pro roky 1909 a 1910 navrhl ministr financí David Lloyd George „lidový rozpočet“, ve kterém rozšiřoval státní sociální politiku. Rozpočet zvýšil daň z příjmů, též zavedl progresivní daň z vysokých příjmů. Obzvlášť velký odpor vyvolala pozemková daň. Rozpočet vyvolal konflikt s vlastníky pozemků a aristokracií obecně.[1] Ta jej ve Sněmovně lordů zamítla, čímž ale porušila stovky let starý precedens, který lordům veto rozpočtu zakazoval. Situace vyústila v otevřenou ústavní krizi, která vedla v lednu 1910 k všeobecným volbám. V nich Liberální strana ztratila velkou většinu z voleb předchozích a musela se spoléhat na podporu Irské parlamentní strany a labouristů. Nad Konzervativní a Liberálně unionistickou stranou měli liberálové převahu pouze dvou křesel. Premiér Herbert Henry Asquith podal po čase demisi a liberálové se svými spojenci začali usilovat o reformu limitující práva Sněmovny lordů. Asquith tedy od krále Jiřího V. požadoval záruku, že král jmenuje dostatek liberálních peerů pro prosazení reformy v horní sněmovně. Ten souhlasil pouze za podmínky nových voleb, které se uskutečnily v prosinci 1910.[2]

God was surely lookingafter England or she would have perished years agone.In his old age he ceaselessly quoted the lines of WilliamWatson: Time, and the Ocean, and some fostering starIn high cabal have made us what we are; and damned the politician with all the vigour of the OldTestament vernacular. LORD FISHER 37 I have often listened to a ministers confidentialgossip about Lord Fisher; nothing in these interestingconfidences struck me so much as the self-satisfactionof the little minister in treating the man of destiny as anamusing lunatic.

RT. KON. HERBERT HENRY ASQUITH u. & u. CHAPTER IV MR. ASQUITH Not to mention loss of time, the tone of their feelings is lowered: theybecome less in earnest about those of their opinions respecting which theymust remain silent in the society they frequent: they come to look upon theirmost elevated objects as unpractical, or at least too remote from realizationto be more than a vision or a theory: and if, more fortunate than most, theyretain their higher principles unimpaired, yet with respect to the personsand affairs of their own day, they insensibly adopt the modes of feeling andjudgment in which tliey can hope for sympathy from the company they keep—John Stuart Mill. Nothing in Mr. Asquiths career is more striking thanhis fall from power: it was as if a pin had dropped. Great men do not at any time fall in so ignominiousa fashion, much less when the fate of a great empire is inthe balance. The truth is that Mr. Asquith possesses all theappearance of greatness but few of its e
