The Reform Party was set up by Sigismondo Savona. Savona was one of those responsible for putting into practice the propositions made by the Royal Commissioners of 1878, one of which was to start teaching students English before Italian. Sigismondo Savona was made Director of Education in 1880 and together with Chief Secretary Gerald Strickland would be in charge of all the attempted major reforms being made to the Education System.
The Reform Party was more focused on the working class and this can be seen in their many propositions which were aimed at improving their standard of living. Some of these propositions included the removal of the bread tax, more work on the underground drainage system and so on. Naturally most of the support for this party came from the working class including dockyard workers and government workers.
