Democracy United Kingdom
In Great Britain
started in 1850, to take in an effective democracy face. Even in this elitist
system there existed many bribery and corruption. Changing social attitudes of
lead is passed to a series of texts within 80 years, which would lead to
prolonged vote-votes-for men of the working class and finally the women, bar a
few exceptions. Historian Sydney Wood suggests that: "the parliamentary
system of the 1950s was not democratic. Democracies were considered to be at
the mercy of the ignorant people unfit to possess power. It promotes the rich
in a number of ways. "Before the adoption of the first law of reform of
1832, Great Britain's
political system has not changed since the 16th century.
The first 1832
Reform Act increased the voters of 435.00 about 652.000. 10A (per year) now the
vote. Before the adoption of the decision, there were no laws that says that
standard could vote. Corrects certain derogations from the law the voting
system, and he did the working class politics more spirit.
William Gladstone and Benjamin Disraeli competing political credit that led to the adoption of the law reform second in 1867, lead in order to support the working class voters.
He was seen by
many in Parliament that coincide with social change, the voting system needs to
be updated. In the course of the vote was approximately 2.5 million voters,
with the men of the working class in the cities and municipalities allowed the
vote. All heads of household with the place of residence of one year received
the vote, or those who live in your home's value? 12. on the whole, men of the
third got the vote. Also, the voters means that the parties had to organize at
national level increased.
Before the vote
that law was passed in 1872, was conducted in the open air, which means that
many votes are motivated by intimidation, bribery and corruption. The law
allowed vote will take place in private. The third Reform Act of 1884/1885 gave
the vote to men of the working class in rural areas, increase the electorate to
about 5 million. Those included excluded soldiers live in the barracks and the
son who still live at home. There Is still no mention of the women get the
vote.
The representation of persons in 1918 law allowed all adult men age over 21-year-old, who had a residence for six months to vote.
Plural voting,
which was something that took place among the aristocracy, was reduced to two,
and then only applied to university graduates. Under pressure from the
suffragette were women on the same footing as men in local elections. The
representation of the people Act 1928 finally women at the same level as men in
terms of votes, and the first-past-The-Post system was confirmed. Elections
were held in the open air, and so many people were bribed to vote for one
candidate or forced. The adoption of the law on the ballot in 1872 changed all
this, offering voters to place their right to vote in secret. In densely
populated areas, a secret ballot makes difference. Taking into account the increase
in the number of voters, the second part of the third reform act, Act on the
redistribution of the reorganized seats availability and increased the number
of MPs in Scotland.
IN 1885, the
number of members passed 652 to 670 and universities still elected members, but
using proportional representation, another democratic governance. The law on
the Parliament has really changed the face of Parliament. Parliament Act 1911
is also something that before the law had been changed much of the Parliament.
The beginning of the 1900s, there were three national parties to vote in
favour. These are the Conservatives, the Liberals and labor. Labor is a party
that represented the working class, the Conservatives are upper middle class
and liberal was not unlike the Conservatives, but according to historian Henry
Pelling: "In the small towns and villages of the country Ministers and
preachers were the backbone of the liberal forces." The introduction of
the part of the work gave a party that can provide support for the working
class, giving them a voice in Parliament.
Agents of parties have paid for advertising.
These agents have
worked with the branch associations. This branch was a radical Whig party
leadership challenge. There was a similar branch that exist within the
conservative party: Central Office for the conservative. In 1881, the Primrose
League was formed, and it seemed precious in the preservation of party support.
the visit to the village festivals, the cat in the class of village or friendly
musical evenings in winter."The huge increase in the electorate is called
this parry organization to exist.
Strongly it can
be stated that in Great
Britain in 1928, democracy had indeed
largely achieved. There was the equal rights of votes for the age of more than
9 pm. There were regular elections and votes was now free of corrupt activity,
as a result of a secret ballot. MPs have now paid, whereby the working class be
able to afford to enter the House of Commons. The House of Lords had far less
influence on taxes and Government spending. Various laws have improved the face
of British democracy.
Those of the
House of Lords got their position usually inherit, instead of vote. Women, had
while having equal voting rights than men, not even social equality. Donald
Morrison gives suggests that: "the development of liberal democracy has
been slow and fragmented. So keep issues such as the reform of the elections,
decentralization and the promotion of equality are dealt with in the context of
our current democratic political culture ... »
It can be
concluded that in 1928, Great Britain
was not just a democracy; However, acts and reforms laid down in the previous
decades had helped in Great
Britain.
