Analysis of Lord Salisbury's Effectiveness as a Leader Lord Salisbury, the most successful conservative leader, had been in office 3 times over 17 years and also passed some key reforms. What really mattered was the fact that he passed reforms that directly affected the working classes, who at the time were the main body of voters; Salisbury was a strong leader and did much to keep the party in line. The Labourers Allotment Act of 1887, allowed local authorities the power to buy land and rent it cheaply to the people in an attempt to improve their health growing more vegetables and healthy foods. They also introduced the Mines regulation act in 1887. This act dramatically changed the safety in mines …show more content…

This again helped to improve the overall state of the nation and would help to reduce future unemployment. . Salisbury was an "unenthusiastic imperialist." He used the issue of the English victory in the Boer War tremendously in the election of 1895 in the favour of the Conservatives. Salisbury saw that imperialism could be used to distract the people from any wayward political issues. It caused a massive amount of frustration with the Liberals, who, already were weakened by the retirement of Gladstone.When we judge the performance of Lord Salisbury, he was an extremely clever politician and his success did not come by chance. He turned the situations in his favour which strengthened his position as a leader within the party. He had excellent diplomatic skills and laid the greatest emphasis on party organization.

He was practical and realistic in his approach and, most importantly, was able to predict and interpret the current political situation.

    The Land Reform Act of 1967 permitted the state of Hawaii to redistribute land by condemning and acquiring private property from landlords (the lessors) in order to sell it to another private owner, in this case, their tenants (the lessees). The Hawaii State Legislature passed the Land Reform Act after discovering that nearly forty-seven percent (47%) of the state was owned by only seventy-two (72) private land owners. That meant that only forty-nine percent of Hawaii was owned by the State and Federal Govermnet.The contested statute gave lessees of single family homes the right to invoke the government's power of eminent domain to purchase the property that they leased, even if the landowner objected. The challengers of the statue (the land owners) claimed that such a condemnation was not a taking for public use because the property, once condemned by the state, was promptly turned over to the lessee (a private ...

For instance, in Zambia residents are issued with a 30-year Occupancy Licences while the area undergoes through the process of upgrading. These can be later replaced by certificates of title, which carry the same effect as if the landowner were obtaining a direct lease of the land from the state (UN-Habitat, 2012). In Botswana, Certificate of Use is issued to informal dwellers so as to encourage them on further housing investment (Durand-Lasserve, 2006). In Brazil, Concession of the Real Right to Use is issued to residents. The validity period of these licences varies between 30 and 50 year periods but subject to renew (Van der Molen, 2002).
