The Pittites dominated in Great Britain itself especially since the Whig vote was spilt even worse for the Foxites their support for the French revolution scared the aristocracy resulting in defeat however the Whigs did dominate in Ireland and the American seats. The administration set off to weaken whig dominace. Their strategy was extremely controversial they had failed multiple times but they introduced a law that the Catholics hated the Presbyterians hated and the Anglo Irish were angry as well as they increased the land requirement tenfold in Ireland to destory the Whig voting base their entirely.
