Speech on Middlesex Electors rights in the House of Commons
Sir Wilkes criticizes the Middlesex election and the Luttrell resolution as a dangerous infringement on popular rights. He argues Parliament cannot usurp the electorate by declaring a winner and denounces ministerial manipulation, urging expunging disputed resolutions and defending free election principles. He cites Abingdon and Abingdon-like precedents to warn of a creeping loss of representation.
