Excerpt from Indignant Rhymes: Addressed to the Electoral Body at Large
Hack tapists have good reason to complain That party government is on the wane; Their tape-rigged argosies on rocks must strike When our best Whigs and Tories think alike If coalition fuse the leader ranks Your hacks and tapists are dismissed with thanks, Or if imbecile proved in higher spheres Enter the Parish Union House as peers.
One party mainly right and t'other wrong Ou some great principle make Party strong. Can Whig or Tory much prevail when both To touch Reform at all alike are loath.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an analysis of electoral reform during the mid 1800's, a proposal to extend the right to vote to the working class, and the significance of class struggle as it relates to corruption and the oppression of the working class. The author argues that the working class is the only uncorrupted class and that extending the vote would bring new life to the electoral system. However, the author laments that electoral reform is on the decline as politicians are beholden to money and the interests of the wealthy. Instead of extending the right to vote to the working class, the author argues that the working class should be fighting for their own interests. This book provides a unique perspective on the history of electoral reform and the role of class struggle in shaping the political landscape.
