Sir Edgar Whitehead's party, the United Federal Party , was paternalistic but broadly liberal. The party's desire for a great Central African Federation was viewed with suspicion by many black inhabitants of the Federation; while white colonists reacted to Whitehead's comparatively liberal views on race with alarm. This led to the party's defeat in the 1962 General Election and the beginning of a Rhodesian Front government that would continue, from 1964 under the leadership of Ian Douglas Smith , until the end of minority rule in 1979 .
