List of MPs elected in the 1780 British general election facts for kids
The Parliament of Great Britain in 1780 was a very important time! This list tells you about the 558 Members of Parliament (MPs) who were chosen to represent different areas across Great Britain. These MPs were elected to the 15th Parliament, which is like saying the 15th group of people chosen to make laws for the country. They represented 314 different "constituencies," which are like special districts or areas that each get to send one or more people to Parliament.
This list also includes people who became MPs later on if someone else left their seat. Think of it like a team roster, but for lawmakers!

What is an MP?
An MP, or Member of Parliament, is a person elected by people in a specific area to speak for them in the House of Commons. The House of Commons is where laws are discussed and made. In 1780, only certain people could vote, usually men who owned property.
Political Groups in 1780
In the 1780s, there were two main political groups, a bit like today's political parties:
- Whigs: Generally supported more power for Parliament and less for the King. They often wanted changes and reforms.
- Tories: Usually supported the King and the traditional ways of doing things. They preferred stability and less change.
Sometimes, an MP might be called an Independent if they didn't officially belong to either of these main groups.
Members of Parliament by Area
Here's a look at some of the MPs who were elected in 1780, organized by the areas they represented. Sometimes, an MP might have left their seat because they got a new job, became a Lord, or for other reasons. When that happened, a new election, called a "by-election," was held to choose a replacement.

By-elections
Sometimes, an MP might leave their seat before the next general election. When this happens, a special election called a "by-election" is held to choose a new MP for that area. You can find more details about these changes here:
