| | Lord Grey - 1832 Reform Act |
 | | Secondly, although the Reform Act did not achieve all that the reformers wanted, it satisfied moderate men and it stabilised the political situation for 30 years. | | | The name of Charles, second Earl Grey (1764-1845), Prime Minister from 1830 to 1834, has always been associated with the `Great Reform Act' which his government passed into law in 1832. | | | In this respect, the accusation that the Reform Bill was a scheme to increase the power of the Whigs at the expense of the Tories has some substance, and it is in line with what has been said of Grey's objectives in the 1790s. |

| | Suffrage was extended further in the Second Great Reform of 1867. | | | Even Robert Peel, the great Tory leader, "saw the work of a Tory as the implementation of 'judicious reforms' and the refusal to defend abuses merely because they were old" (Briggs, Age of Improvement, 218). | | | As a result of the Reform, the number of eligible voters increased by approximately fifty percent. |

| | On 11 April 1912 the Home Rule Bill was introduced and Bonar Law spoke at a large Unionist rally at Blenheim Palace saying that if Ulster loyalists resorted to force they would have his backing. | | | In the 1880s the Irish Parliamentary Party's chief spokesman was Charles Stewart Parnell and alongside the burgeoning Home Rule movement, Michael Davitt's Land League pursued a campaign of agitation against landlords in order to reform the system and replace it with peasant proprietors. | | | The Bill was passed by the Commons in 1893, but thrown out by the Lords and an exhausted and dispirited Gladstone retired to be replaced in 1894 by Lord Rosebery who dropped Home Rule from his government's programme, while the Nationalists were too demoralised to conduct any effective campaign outside Westminster. |

| | Continuity and Change: Ulster 1798-1998 |
| | The fall of Parnell and the temporary split in the Irish Parliamentary Party that he had led did not prevent a second attempt at Home Rule, but this second Bill failed as a result of defeat in the House of Lords. | | | Home Rule was also a useful way to undermine the Liberals, whose primary goal, after Gladstone, was not Home Rule but social reform. | | | That controversial issue, however, did not immediately affect Ireland on the Liberal return to power at Westminster; the Liberals had been returned with a landslide election victory, and did not need to depend on the votes of the reunited Irish Parliamentary Party under John Redmond. |

| | The Whig cry, "the bill, the whole bill, and nothing but the bill," won the ensuing election, but a second bill was defeated by the Lords. | | | Though this bill was intended to be the final reform of Parliament, it was in reality only the first of a series (1867, 1884, 1918, 1928) which during the next century extended the suffrage to virtually all adult subjects. | | | Although popular agitation for reform had existed as early as John Wilkes's Middlesex elections in 1768 and 1769, no ministry seriously proposed parliamentary reform until 1831, when Lord Grey (1765-1845) and the Whigs produced the bill proposed by Russell. |

| | Political Reform was very much on the agenda with Gladstone's Great Reform Bill of 1866, Disraeli's Second Great Reform Bill of 1867 and Gladstone's Third Great Parliamentary Reform Bill of 1884. | | | Whilst women were not central to these bills, they did extend the franchise and raise general questions of voting rights. | | | The period 1861 to 1885 was one of great significance both for women and for Britain as a whole. |

| | Thus, Bill Kristol is routinely referred to by virtually everyone as "the most brilliant conservative intellectual in the country," the only permissible range of dispute being those who gently demure and claim that Bill is merely second in brilliance to his beloved poppa. | | | Before the election, moreover, William Kristol managed to "persuade" Jack Kemp and Bill Bennett to cut their own potential presidential throats by coming out strongly against Proposition 187, thereby going against, not only the overwhelming mass of the public, but also against Governor Pete Wilson and the bulk of the California Republican Party. | | | Bill Kristol elaborated by telling the New York Times that Republicans "should shed the minority mindset" of "let's do everything we can all at once." Instead, he explained, the important thing is not to worry about principle or rollback but to elect a Republican president in 1996 (i.e., do nothing). |

| | The Bill was presented to Parliament as a Private Member's Bill on several occasions in the 1930's, but it never reached the statute book so a major reform of the law on workmen's compensation had to await the election of the Labour Government and the Industrial Injuries Act of 1946. | | | But it was not until the 1960's that the TUC's radical reforming policies of the 1930's were widely accepted by public opinion, and acted on by governments. | | | Even when the second world war broke out, the Chamberlain Government's attitude inhibited the initial work of the Ministry of Labour's newly formed National Joint Advisory Committee, which was supposed to assist the Minister, Ernest Brown, in formulating policy about such things as wage control, compulsory arbitration, and direction of labour. |
