THE FRANCHISE BILL: 'BETTER LATE THAN NEVER'. Charnming full
page engraving. 1884. Two elderly gentlemen discussing the
political issues of the day. According to Wikipeadia: _ In the
United Kingdom, the Representation of the People Act 1884 (48 &
49 Vict. c. 3, also known as the Third Reform Act) and the
Redistribution Act of the following year were a response to the
inequality in the electoral system left by the Disraeli
Government's Reform Act 1867. Taken together, these measures
extended the same voting qualifications as existed in the towns
to the countryside, and essentially established the modern one
member constituency as the normal pattern for Parliamentary
representation.
The act extended the 1867 concessions from the boroughs to the
countryside. All men paying an annual rental of £10 or all those
holding land valued at £10 now had the vote. The British
electorate now totalled over 5,500,000. An Act a year later
redistributed constituencies, giving more representation to
urban areas (especially London).
The 1884 Reform Act did not establish universal suffrage:
although the size of the electorate was widened considerably,
all women and 40% of adult males were still without the vote at
the time.
