Tags: Election.
The British general election of 1715 returned members to serve in the House of Commons of the 5th Parliament of Great Britain to be held after the merger of the Parliament of England and the Parliament of Scotland in 1707. In October 1714 soon after George I had arrived in London after ascending to the throne he dismissed the Tory cabinet and replaced it with one almost entirely composed of Whigs as they were responsible for securing his succession.
