Description: Elections and politics have been the subject of much animated discussion and lively debate for generations untold, particularly in the 19th century when intense rivalry between the Conservative and Liberal parties gave rise to fiercely contested elections characterised by widespread disturbances and malpractices no longer current. This book provides an insight into the policies and practices pursued to secure a seat in Parliament during the time period 1700-1900. -- Publisher description
