I think we probably want to move this page to something more sensible than Henry Charles Keith Petty-Fitzmaurice, 5th Marquess of Lansdowne, 6th Earl of Kerry and set up the appropriate redirects. Mintguy 07:26, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)

The article sates he entered the House of Lords for the Liberal party in 1866. However the Liberal party didn't get used as a term officially until 1868. Did he really enter as a Whig? -- SGBailey 2004-02-26

The foundation of the Liberal Party is normally dated to a meeting in 1859 and in any case the term was already in use before then. Timrollpickering 05:53, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Enoch Powell claimed that "Landsdowne was the last of the Whigs". - Johnbull 02:20, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
