Abstract. Basing on the analysis of historiography, the thesis is disputed that the Tory party gained organizational unity only after a series of splits in 1827-1830 caused by granting political rights to dissenters and the Catholics’ emancipation. The author emphasizes that this was preceded by a long period of consolidation of the Tories (1760-1832), which was accompanied by the birth of their ideology and political identity. The paper shows that in the modern British historiography, more and more supporters have a view, according to which the split of 1832 was caused, first of all, by constitutional changes, and only then by the Tory party problems themselves.
