The 1900 Sallian parliamentary election took place on 27 June 1900. The provisional government had been dissolved on 25 May 1900 following the ratification of the Conduct Act 1900. The upper-class Conservative Party, led by the rich Nicholas Wilson, ran a campaign promising to raise taxes for the poor to fund the aristocracy. The middle-class Liberal Party, led by James Cooper, promised equality between the classes and a liberal society. No one knew what to expect, due to the new circumstances. Opinion polls showed a Conservative victory, and it turned out to be a landslide when the results were announced on 7 July 2000. Nicholas Wilson then formed a new government, and the 1st Parliament of Sallia met on 1 August 1900.
