Whig party identification in the House of Lords
score:2
I wrote to some public-inquiry offices of the UK Parliament and received a statement attributed to Alistair Cooke, Baron Lexden, historian of the Conservative Party:
Lord Melbourne, Prime Minister 1834-41, is generally regarded as the last Whig party leader. The last Whig politician is generally thought to be as Lord Lansdowne who defected from the Liberals in the 1880s, remaining active in politics at a senior level until the end of the First World War in alliance with the Conservatives."
Nonetheless, Wikipedia indicates that Earl Granville succeeded Lansdowne as Leader of the Whig Party in the House of Lords. His tenure ended with the initiation of the Liberal project in 1859, when the Whig Party was apparently abandoned. Seating charts which I could not find might yet reveal which parliamentary groups were present in a given year.
Two apparently figurative uses of "Whig" appear in the titles of in the book The Last of the Whigs: A Political Biography of Lord Hartington, Later Eighth Duke of Devonshire (1833-1908) and the article The Last Whig: Lord Hartington as Liberal Leader, 1875-80.
