Présentation de l'éditeur
To the Noble Lord who has thus taken the lead as the Champion of Constitutional and Moderate Reform, the country is already singularly indebted, for it is to his exertions we owe the memorable repeal of the Corporation and Test A cts, which first opened the eyes of the Ministry to the possibility of Catholic Emancipation; and when he shall succeed in his present object, as I doubt not but eventually he will do, he will add another leaf to the Civic Crown which the applause of his countrymen has already bound around his brows. The proposal has been, however, for the present, rejected by a small majority.

Thoughts on Moderate Reform in the House of Commons (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book argues for moderate electoral reform in England, advocating for the extension of voting rights to the industrial metropolises of the time, which had been left unrepresented in Parliament despite significant population growth. The author, writing in 1831, situates this push for reform within a broader historical context, highlighting a gradual movement towards greater representation and democratic principles in the country's governance. The book delves into specific proposals for reform, such as establishing a threshold for population size that would automatically grant a town the right to elect representatives, as well as measures to reduce the costs and logistical challenges associated with county elections. The author also grapples with objections to these reforms, including concerns about maintaining the influence of landed gentry and the potential for increased electoral fraud. Ultimately, this book makes a compelling case for electoral reform, arguing that it is both necessary to ensure fair representation for all citizens and essential for the continued health and vitality of British democracy. Its insights remain relevant today, as societies continue to grapple with the challenges of ensuring that their political systems are responsive to the needs and aspirations of the people they represent.
