Pitt and Henry Fox were considered the two favourites for the position, but Newcastle instead rejected them both and turned to the less well-known figure of Sir Thomas Robinson, a career diplomat, to fill the post.

Both parties began as loose groupings or tendencies, but became quite formal by 1784, with the ascension of Charles James Fox as the leader of a reconstituted " Whig " party ranged against the governing party of the new " Tories " under William Pitt the Younger.

" Although Pitt is often referred to as a " Tory " and Fox as a " Whig ", Pitt always considered himself to be an independent Whig, and generally opposed the development of a strict partisan political system.

Fox's supporters, however, certainly saw themselves as legitimate heirs of the Whig tradition, and they strongly opposed Pitt in his early years in office, notably during the regency crisis revolving around the King's temporary insanity in 1788 – 1789, when Fox and his allies supported full powers for their ally, the Prince of Wales, as regent.

Although Burke himself was largely alone in defecting to Pitt in 1791, much of the rest of the party, including the influential House of Lords leader the Duke of Portland, Rockingham's nephew Lord Fitzwilliam, and William Windham, were increasingly uncomfortable with the flirtations of Fox and his allies with radicalism and the French Revolution.

Pitt gained great popularity with the public at large as " Honest Billy " who was seen as a refreshing change from the dishonesty, corruption and lack of principles widely associated with both Fox and North.

In most popular constituencies, the election was fought between candidates clearly representing either Pitt or Fox and North.
