He was its leader until 1931 when he wound the party up and joined the newly formed UAP.

However, the massive swing to the UAP left it only four seats short of a majority in its own right, and Lyons ' position was strong enough that he was able to govern alone during his first term.

With the Labor Party split between Scullin's supporters and Langites, and with a very popular leader ( Lyons had a genial manner and the common touch ), the UAP won the subsequent parliamentary elections in December 1931 in a massive landslide which saw the two wings of the Labor Party cut down to 18 seats between them, and Lyons became Prime Minister in January 1932.

In 1934, however, the UAP lost six seats, forcing Lyons to renew the traditional non-Labor Coalition with the Country Party.

The UAP – Country Party coalition and the Labor parties won 36 seats each.

The result was a huge victory for the UAP, which took 34 seats against 18 seats for the two wings of the Labor Party combined.

The UAP was so bereft of leadership that it was forced to then turn to former Prime Minister Billy Hughes as its new leader.

The UAP was so bereft of leadership that it was forced to turn to Hughes as its new leader.

Having spent all but eight months of its existence prior to 1941 in government, the UAP was ill-prepared for a role in opposition.

After this election defeat Menzies returned to the UAP leadership, but the party and its organisation now seemed moribund.

UAP branches tended to become inactive between elections, and its politicians were seen as compromised by their reliance on large donations from business and financial organisations.

The organisation kept its name when its parent party became part of the UAP.

In February 1944 the UAP withdrew its members from the Advisory War Council in protest against the Curtin government.

Although the non-Labor Coalition had been in power for a decade, the UAP was so bereft of leadership that it was forced to elect former Prime Minister Billy Hughes as its new leader.

Through its University Alliance Program, launched in 1988, SAP donates licenses to over 1, 200 UAP member institutions and fully outfits their professors to provide students in-depth, hands-on experience with SAP software and solutions.

Originally the UAP existed to publish works of significant scholarship ; however, due to increasing financial pressures and decreasing library markets, the UAP, like its counterparts across North America, has had to broaden its role to encompass a wider more trade-orientated publishing program.

United Advertising Publications ( UAP ) is a trading division of UBM but, by the end of 2005, its products ( publications and websites ) will be merged with those of CMPi-another division of UBM specialising in business-to-business media and exhibitions.

Unable to convince Curtin to join in a War Cabinet and facing growing pressure within his own party, Menzies resigned as Prime Minister and leader of the UAP on 29 August 1941.

* When Joseph Lyons, prime minister and leader of the United Australia Party ( UAP ), died suddenly in April 1939, the governor-general, Lord Gowrie, called on Sir Earle Page to become caretaker prime minister.

With Lyons ' sudden death on 7 April 1939, Page became acting Prime Minister until the UAP could elect a leader.

Joseph Lyons, UAP Prime Minister of Australia 1932-1939

In the absence of a UAP deputy, the Governor-General, Lord Gowrie, appointed Country Party leader Earl Page as his temporary replacement, pending the selection of Lyons ' successor by the UAP.

Although the UAP was dominated by former Nationalists, Lyons was chosen as leader rather than the Nationalists ' last leader, John Latham.

At the 1931 election, Lyons and the UAP offered stable, orthodox financial policies, and portrayed an image of putting national unity above class conflict ( given credibility by Lyons, a working-class man leading a party made of largely of middle-and upper-class conservatives ), while Labor remained split between the official party and the Langites.

Since the Commonwealth Government had become responsible for state debts in 1928 under an amendment to the Constitution, the new UAP government of Joseph Lyons paid the interest to the overseas bondholders, and then set about extracting the money from NSW by passing the Financial Agreement Enforcement Act 1932, which the High Court held to be valid.

In 1931 he buried the hatchet with his former colleagues and joined the new United Australia Party ( UAP ), under the leadership of Joseph Lyons.

* Rt Hon Joseph Lyons, MP: Prime Minister ( UAP )

The UAP was formed in 1931 by Labor dissidents and a conservative coalition as a response to the more radical economic proposals of Labor Party members to deal with the Great Depression in Australia.

On 7 May, the Nationalist opposition ( hitherto led by John Latham ), the six Labor dissidents ( who had formed the All for Australia League ), and former Prime Minister Billy Hughes ' Australian Party ( a group of former Nationalists who had been expelled for crossing the floor and bringing down Stanley Bruce's Nationalist government in 1929 ), merged to form the UAP.

Menzies was convinced that the UAP was no longer viable, and a new anti-Labor party needed to be formed to replace it.

In October 1941, the UAP was ousted by a no-confidence vote, the ALP leader John Curtin was invited to form a new government, and Menzies resigned as UAP leader.

In November 1931, Lang Labor dissidents broke with the Scullin government and joined with the UAP opposition to pass a no-confidence motion, forcing an early election.

The UAP largely supported the western powers in their policy of appeasement, however veteran UAP minister Billy Hughes was an exception and he embarrassed the government with his 1935 book book Australia and the War Today which exposed a lack of preparation in Australia for what Hughes correctly supposed to be a coming war.

Page refused to serve under Menzies, leaving the UAP with a minority government.

Though no longer in formal coalition, his government survived because the Country Party preferred a UAP government to that of a Labor government.

Late in the year, the Langite MPs supported a UAP no-confidence motion and brought the government down, forcing an early election.

He voted with the rest of the UAP to bring the Scullin government down.

The CP opposed high tariffs because they increased costs for farmers, while the UAP had support among manufacturers who supported tariffs.

In effect UAP contributes to the intellectual and cultural life of Alberta and Canada by publishing well-edited, research-based knowledge and creative thought, which has undergone rigorous peer-review, is of real value to natural constituencies, adheres to quality publication standards and is supported by appropriate marketing efforts.
