Population based reform in England mirrors US systems
The piece argues for electoral reform in England based on population. It cites London with 22,500 electors for four MPs, Liskeard’s shift from 450 electors to 787 after 1867, and Rutland versus Middlesex seat disparities. It recalls Old Sarum and urges redistribution and assimilation of borough and county franchises. The text predicts adoption of population representation.
