Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book critiques the 1832 Reform Bill, arguing it was borne from political expediency rather than principled concern for resolving inequalities in representation across England and Wales. According to the author, the Bill fundamentally altered the historic character of the existing electoral system, with changes to both the borough and county franchise. These changes, the author contends, were not grounded in any discernible principle, and resulted in anomalies and inconsistencies, such as disenfranchising boroughs that met population criteria and failing to address the under-representation of certain groups. The author asserts that the Bill's architects prioritized the pursuit of their own interests over a fair and just settlement, leading to a drastic change in the balance of power within Parliament. Ultimately, the book highlights the need for a principled approach to reforming the electoral system, one that is based on equality, fairness, and the preservation of historic rights.
