Whig government, 1830–1834
The Whig government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland that began in November 1830 and ended in November 1834 consisted of two ministries: the Grey ministry (from 1830 to July 1834) and then the First Melbourne ministry.
Lord Grey led the Government from 1830 to 1834. He was succeeded by Lord Melbourne upon his resignation.
Melbourne led the Government following the resignation of his predecessor in July 1834. He was dismissed in November.
History
The first wholly Whig government since 1783 came to power after the Duke of Wellington's Tory government lost a vote of no confidence on 15 November 1830. The government, led by the Earl Grey, passed the Great Reform Act in 1832 and abolished slavery throughout the Empire in 1833. However, King William IV dismissed Grey's successor Lord Melbourne in 1834 and asked Sir Robert Peel to form a government. Peel was out of the country at the time, so the Duke of Wellington formed a caretaker government.

gollark: I was looking at trying to address the main issue with it - the possibility of```luatextutils.unserialise [[ (function() while true do end end)()]]```things (its _ENV is sandboxed, so it can't do anything other than denial of service attacks) but I think you would *basically* need a parser to prevent that.
gollark: `textutils.unserialize` is really bad and just uses `load` internally, see.
gollark: No, that's a valid table.
gollark: > we're talking about how regular people have no obligation to know what the fuck a word size isThey could probably ask someone who might know. Although they may not think of it.
gollark: and not just have a route for each.
