In an earlier article on this site, Professor Russell Deacon wrote about the Newport by-election of 1922 which was the catalyst for the fall of the Lloyd George-Bonar Law, Liberal-Tory coalition government. In a further article Professor Deacon looks in more detail at impact of the Newport by-election and the lessons for present day Clegg-Cameron Coalition and their parties.
