The 1830s Only the
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working had the right to vote and their methods of voting were
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working . There was no privacy when people voted as it was done in public. This meant that people could be
pressurised or
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working to vote for a certain MP.
MPs were rich men as they were not paid. This meant there was no working class people in
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working to speak
up about the changes needed.
Cities where working people lived didn’t have MP. Many people believed if that could win the right to
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working they would be able to improve their living and
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working conditions. Therefore the campaign for the vote was a step towards changing their
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working .
The 1832
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working Act increased the number of men who could vote from one in ten to two in ten. However
voters still had to own
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working or land so only middle and upper class could vote. Voters could not be
working class. Voters still had to be
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working and voting was still in public. Bribery and fear remained a big
part.
A positive change was that some
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working lost their MPs and these were given to cities like Leeds,
Manchester and Bradford However the MPs were usually from the south and did not understand the
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working areas and conditions for the workers.
The working people who had been part of the campaign for the vote felt
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working . Only the middle classes
benefited. They then were involved in
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working which further harmed the poor such as the new Poor Law
where the key feature was the
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working .
Very slowly things in Britain things began to change and by
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working with the Second Reform Act and the
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working Reform Act of 1884 more men were given the vote.
In 1832 10% of men voted and by 1884 45% voted.
A further improvement came in 1872 when the
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working was made law to say that voting must be done in
secret. Before that people could be given the
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working if they voted for someone their boss did not like.
After
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working MPs were paid so now even working class men could become MPs and work to achieve better pay and
conditions.
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working were left out of voting until 1918 when some of them aged 30 and over got suffrage. This
was rectified in 1928 when all women aged 21 got the vote.
Workers rights Along with the vote workers were slowly given rights at work. The Combination Act was ended and the
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working 1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working of 1825 let workers join together into unions to try and get better conditions and pay.
In 1875 they were given the right to go on
1867 1906 betrayed bribed industrial legislation lives men parliament picket property Reform rich rotten boroughs sack secret ballot strike Third Trades Unions Act unfair vote Women workhouse working in order to get their employers to agree to their demands.
They were also allowed to peacefully so they could persuade others to join the strike.
