The Parliamentary Registration and Public Franchise Woes
A critical essay condemns wholesale disfranchisement cries and argues for a detailed, house-to-house registration system. It cites existing Irish and English practices, warns against hasty parliamentary remedies, and defends a persistent, monitored lists approach with strong warnings about monopolists and objectors. It notes practical statistics from a twelve-year constituency study and urges readers to resist sensational calls while pursuing careful reform.
