A Summary Explanation of the Principles of Mr (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive plan for reforming the electoral system in Great Britain. The author proposes a two-part plan that would see the disenfranchisement of 30 to 36 small boroughs and the transfer of their representation to larger districts, including the metropolis. The plan also includes provisions for extending the right to vote to copyholders and substantial householders in certain towns, as well as measures to reduce electoral expenses and prevent bribery. The author argues that these reforms are necessary to address the growing problem of corruption in the electoral system and to ensure that the House of Commons is truly representative of the people. The plan is presented as a moderate and practical solution that would not require a radical overhaul of the existing system but would nevertheless have a significant impact on the way that elections are conducted. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British electoral reform or in the current debate over the need for electoral reform. The author provides a detailed and well-argued case for his plan, and his work is sure to stimulate further discussion on this important topic.
