The Whigs of John Russell , who had previously formed a minority government , received a majority of votes, but were in opposition. Irish nationalists were made as part of the Whig.

Initially, the government was created from conservative protectionists under the leadership of Earl Derby, but already in December of the same year the Whigs and Pilits formed a coalition cabinet under the leadership of Pilith Earl Aberdeen , which fell apart during the Crimean War .
