Reforming the Commons Shows Reformers’ Predicament
Summary of Jerrold’s Weekly News figures on House votes across multiple reform motions. Hume on seamen, Molesworth on public works, Henley on salaries, Cobden on previous questions, Drummond on expenditure, and others show consistent opposition to reform efforts and limited passage for proposals such as abolition of patronage, colonial expenditure review, and broader suffrage.
