Tsankov was initially a civil servant in the administration of the Ottoman Empire, who in the 1850s gained a reputation as a supporter of the Bulgarian Greek Catholic Church. His paper ''Bũlgaria'' appeared in Constantinople in 1859 and espoused his religious positions. Funded by France, the paper argued that a Uniat with Rome was the only solution to Bulgaria. Indeed, Tsankov, who was educated by the Jesuits, helped to form the Bulgarian Greek Catholic Church in 1861. Later he became closely associated with opposition to the Ottomans and the independence movement. Tsankov was initially opposed to the April Uprising but he soon changed his opinion and began to be active in support of independence.

Todor Burmov
Todor (Bulgarian, and sr, Тодор/Todor) is a Bulgarian, Macedonian and Serbian given name, a local rendering of the name Theodore. The Hungarian form of the name is rendered similarly as ''Tódor''. It is the most common name in Bulgarian villages such as Velingrad and Plovdiv. As a form of the name Theodore, ''Todor'' also ultimately comes from the Greek Θεόδωρος (''Theodoros''), signifying "gift of god", from θεός (''theos'') "god" and δῶρον (''doron'') "gift". Slavic equivalents bearing a similar meaning are '' Bozhidar'' and ''Bogdan''. The name Todd is similar too but has different meaning. The Bulgarian diminutives of ''Todor'' are Тошко (''Toshko''), Тошо (''Tosho'') and Тоше (''Toshe'') and the Macedonian diminutive is Тоше (''Toše'') and Тодорче (''Todorče'').

The Conservative Party ( bg, Консервативна партия) was a Bulgarian party which existed between 1879 and 1884. It was linked with the newspapers Vitosha, Balgarski Glas and Otechestvo. The Conservative party formed the first two governments of Liberated Bulgaria, but it didn't receive a majority in the parliamentary elections held in 1879, triggering a motion of no confidence and snap elections in 1880, which they also lost. It supported the 1881 coup and the Proxy Regime of Alexander I Battenberg which suspended the Tarnovo Constitution after which it was fully discredited and fell apart. As early as 1882 the group of Marko Balabanov joined the moderate wing of the Liberal Party led by Dragan Tsankov which later formed the Progressive Liberal Party. After the political crisis of 1886 and 1887 some party members such as Dimitar Grekov and Grigor Nachovich joined the People's Liberal Party of Stefan Stambolov.

Parliamentary Elections In Bulgaria
A parliamentary system, or parliamentarian democracy, is a system of democratic governance of a state (or subordinate entity) where the executive derives its democratic legitimacy from its ability to command the support ("confidence") of the legislature, typically a parliament, to which it is accountable. In a parliamentary system, the head of state is usually a person distinct from the head of government. This is in contrast to a presidential system, where the head of state often is also the head of government and, most importantly, where the executive does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature. Countries with parliamentary systems may be constitutional monarchies, where a monarch is the head of state while the head of government is almost always a member of parliament, or parliamentary republics, where a mostly ceremonial president is the head of state while the head of government is regularly from the legislature. In a few parliamentary republic ...
