The 1761 British general election returned members to serve in the House of Commons of the 12th Parliament of Great Britain to be summoned, after the merger of the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland in 1707. This was the first Parliament chosen after the accession to the throne of King George III. It was also the first election after George III had lifted the conventional proscription on the employment of Tories in government. The King prevented the Prime Minister, the Duke of Newcastle, from using public money to fund the election of Whig candidates, but Newcastle instead simply used his private fortune to ensure that his ministry gained a comfortable majority.

  • Les élections générales britanniques de 1761 se sont déroulées en Grande-Bretagne du 25 mars au 5 mai 1761. Ces élections sont remportées par le parti whig. * Portail de la politique britannique * Portail du XVIIIe siècle (fr)
  • 조지 3세는 즉위와 함께 종래의 정부 내 토리당 공권 박탈을 해제하고 국세를 선거에 쓰는 것을 막았으나, 수상 제1대 뉴캐슬 공작 토머스 펠럼홀스는 개인 자산까지 이용하며 선거에서 절대 다수를 차지한다. 공권박탈이 끝나면서 개인발전을 위한 새 기회가 제공되자 토리당은 붕괴해버렸고, 공존은 여당을 자극했다. 그러나 당의 일관성을 유지할 정도의 이념이 살아남진 못해, 거물 귀족들을 중심으로 계파로 나뉘어, 1770년까지 이어질 정치적 불안정에 기여하게 된다. 이 선거는 영국 사상 가장 비민주적인 선거로 기억되고 있다. (ko)
