Book Description
Britain's voting arrangements prior to the 1832 Reform Act are almost
unbelievable to us now. Only 12 percent of men (and no women) had the vote, a
single person controlled a rotten borough that returned two Members of
Parliament (one of whom was the Prime Minister), and voting was in public, with
landlords evicting tenants who voted against their wishes. In The Struggle for
Democracy, Roger Mason tells the story of how we got from then to now. All major
reforms are covered, such as Catholic Emancipation, further Reform Acts, the end
of the House of Lords veto, and of course votes for women. This fascinating
history
