How did George III try to control Parliament?

George III ascended the throne in 1760, upon the sudden death of his grandfather, Georg II. He was a member of the House of Hanover, a noble German family that succeeded to the British throne in 1714. George wanted to play an active role in the government- and he wanted to get rid of the Whigs, who had become very corrupt. The Tory party, after an Long exile from power, was now rapidly gaining ground. George III took advantage of these conditions, and, putting himself at the head of the Tories, attempted to become the real master in English politics. He chose new ministers- but soon found that he needed the support of the House of Commons to carry out his policies. To get this support, he had to bribe the members- and so finally, George III, who wanted to fight corruption, ended up by using bribery and corruption to get what he wanted! In fact, in the purchase of seats in the Commons for his favorites he outdid the Whigs in the worst days of their corruption.
