A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Bouses or parllatnetit HEH ouse of Commons is elected by voters on Lthe Parliamentary Register of the United r Kingdom. This register is compiled by local authorities, the agents of the political parties in the constituencies asserting or contesting the right of persons of their way of thinking to be thereon before the Revising Barrister, who visits each group of constituencies in the autumn. In r Ba was passed the Reform A ct, materially extending the franchise. It was again enlarged, especially in Boroughs, in 167, and again in Counties in 1884. At the present time the Parliamentary vote in the United Kingdom is possessed by male persons occnpylng land or a tenement of jio clear yearly value, who have resided for six months in the borough, or within seven miles thereof; by inhabitant householders, including occupiers in the course of their employment; by lodgers ;and by persons quahfying under various statutes. In theoryj there is one Member of Parliament to every 100,000 persons, of whom from one-tenth to one-eighth have votes. But there is great inequahty in the numerical ftrength of Constituencies, which a Redistribution A ct erelong have to remedy. Women, although possessing great electoral infiuence, and taking an active part in political warfare, have only a Municipal and not a Parliamentary vote. Elections are decided on one voting, by a bare majority.
