The 1832 Reform Act was a landmark moment in the development of modern British politics. By overhauling the country's ancient representative system, the legislation reshaped constitutional arrangements at Westminster, reinvigorated political relationships between the center and the provinces, and established the political structures and precedents that both shaped and hindered Britain's slow lurch towards democracy by 1928. Mapping the State: English Boundaries and the 1832 Reform Act (U London Press, 2024) leads to a fundamental rethinking of the 1832 Reform Act by demonstrating how boundary reform and the reconstruction of England's electoral map by the little-known 1831–1832 boundary commission underpinned this turning point in the development of the British political nation. Eschewing traditional approaches to the 1832 Reform Act, it draws from a significant new archival discovery—the working papers of the boundary commission—and a range of innovative quantitative techniques to provide a major reassessment of why and how the 1832 Reform Act passed, its impact on reformed politics both at Westminster and in the constituencies, and its significance to the expansion of the modern British state.

Valerie Mirko, Partner at Armstrong Teasdale and Leader of the firm's Securities Regulation and Litigation Practice, and William Nelson, Director of Public Policy and Associate General Counsel at the Investment Adviser Association, speak with veteran securities litigator, Daniel Sommers, Partner at Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC, about the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PSLRA) as the statute approaches its 30th anniversary this year.

In this episode, learn about the U.S. Energy Permitting Reform Act and how a music class inspired a student to gain new insights on climate change. We also explore how listening enhances climate communication skills. For full show notes, transcript, and links, visit www.cclusa.org/radio Barbara Wankollie's Soundscape: Climate and Colonization Through Sound We highlight Barbara Wankollie, a Liberian political science student at Bucknell University. She created a soundscape reflecting on colonization and Africa's role in the Anthropocene, inspired by Gabrielle Hecht's essay The African Anthropocene. Barbara's piece blends original music with field recordings, starting with rain and drums to symbolize harmony with nature, then shifting to industrial sounds representing colonization's disruption. A powerful moment in her work came from an accidental recording during a trip to Baltimore, where she and her international friends reflected on Black community and identity. This soundscape offers a unique lens on the intersection of climate and colonization. The Nerd Corner: The Energy Permitting Reform Act Dana Nuccitelli unpacks the bipartisan Energy Permitting Reform Act, which aims to streamline clean energy projects while boosting fossil fuel extraction. A "super team" of experts modeled the bill's impact, estimating it could reduce U.S. climate pollution by up to 25% by 2050, with fossil fuel provisions having minimal effect on increasing emissions. This act could play a key role in a cleaner energy future. Resilience Corner: The Power of Listening Tamara Staton explores how deep listening enhances collaboration, reduces stress, and builds emotional resilience, which is crucial for long-term climate action. She connects listening to improved trust, creativity, and support within the climate movement, highlighting its value in both personal and professional resilience.

What does a taxidermied man have to do with women getting the vote? Well, as it turns out, quite a lot! The 1800's ushered in a new way of life for everyone and the Industrial Revolution wasn't called that just because of the machines. This new reign of technology heralded in a new era in workers rights or in fact highlighted that...there were none! Pair this with the fact that only 4500 men in England were allowed to vote, this meant working class people had no say in what happened to them and they were angry! However, a new way of thinking was making it's way into parliament and that was because of a now taxidermied man who lived in a case...Today on Macabre London, we uncover the origins of the women's suffrage movement and the path to the universal vote.This is part two in my industrial revolution / Suffragette series - episode one is here: https://youtu.be/X-skf7cLV0E------------------------Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1180202350Macabre London is a fortnightly podcast and YouTube show that delves into London's haunted and gruesome history alongside discovering Macabre mini Mysteries from all over the world!Be sure to check out my other podcast, Killers, Cults & Queens with Cheryl Hole https://podfollow.com/queens---------------------------SUPPORT ME————————ONE OFF DONATIONS: Paypal - paypal.me/macabrelondonKO-FI: ko-fi.com/macabrelondonPATREON: www.patreon.com/macabrelondonAMAZON WISHLIST - http://amzn.eu/dJxEf1VMERCH! - https://macabrelondon-shop.fourthwall.comPATREON - www.patreon.com/macabrelondon——————————-Thank you to our executive producer patrons - Christina, Christophe, Lisa, M, Ravelle, Sally, Sam, Sarah, Terri, Teresa, Vee, VeronicaAnd to all of our wonderful £5 tier patrons...Lindal Victoria ZozoLAMLucy Talli Claire Verena Inge Kim Amy ClaireAndreaKathryn Jo David ShannonCreepy PaperRachelDeniseHelenSabrinaAndrew And thanks to all other patrons too!————————SOCIAL MEDIA---------------------------------------------Insta: @nikkimacabrelondonX: @macabrelondonTikTok: @macabrelondonFacebook: @macabrelondonEmail: macabrelondon@hotmail.comSources-------------https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lsehistory/2023/03/28/remembering-the-suffragettes-black-friday/#:~:text=Over%20100%20women%20were%20arrested,modern%20day%20Parliament%20in%20colour.https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/discover/virtual-visit/podcasts/women-and-power-serieshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilitarianismhttps://www.gov.uk/government/history/past-prime-ministers/james-ramsay-macdonald#:~:text=Born%2012%20October%201866%2C%20James,from%20a%20working%20class%20family.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1842_general_strike#:~:text=The%201842%20general%20strike%2C%20also,to%20South%20Wales%20and%20Cornwall.https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/transformingsociety/electionsvoting/womenvote/parliamentary-collections/1866-suffrage-petition/presenting-the-petition/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_Duleep_Singhhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_Act_1832 Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

After being rated as one of the worst places in the country for their youth legal system, Maryland law makers decided to implement an overhaul of said system. After two years of study and advocacy, the state was guilted into action. Now, after less than 18 months in effect, police and prosecutors have convinced law makers into chipping away at the reforms. Today, Hunter is joined once again by the Public Defender of Maryland, Natasha Dartigue, and by Deputy District Public Defender for Baltimore City, Alycia Capozello, to discuss the anecdotes and fear driving legislators towards bad criminal legal policy.

Salisbury, who'd secured his position in the Conservative Party by his clever political work over Gladstone's 1884 Reform Act, was now Prime Minister. But only at the head of a minority government. That wasn't something he could live with for long, since it meant that the Liberals had a Commons majority hanging over his head, ready to kick him out whenever they decided it was time to use their strength against him. The election, when it came, would have nearly three million more voters on the registers than previous time around. Many of them would be Irish, including quite a few Irishmen living in England. So issues to do with the government of Ireland, and in particular Irish Home Rule, would be a key factor in the outcome. Both main parties had contacts with Parnell and his Irish Parliamentary Party. Gladstone, though he had come around to supporting Home Rule himself, encouraged Parnell's conversations with the Conservatives, rather hoping to have them introduce Home Rule rather than having to do so himself, if he came back to office heading a new Liberal government. Salisbury was having none of that since he was opposed to the whole idea of Home Rule. On the other hand, with Irish votes at stake, he didn't mind people thinking he might be considering the possibility. So Parnell spoke to both sides. Then, when the election results were announced, it turned out Gladstone had won but without a majority, with the Conservatives second. Parnell's Irish party had taken 86 seats, the 86 of 86 as they were called, since the parliament only met in 1886. He held the balance of power. In the meantime, a bold action by Gladstone's son with the British press, the so-called Hawarden Kite, had seen the Liberal leader identified as the champion of Home Rule. Parnell could put him back into office. Maybe it was time for him to stop flirting with both sides and commit himself to the Liberals who seemed committed to the goal he was pursuing. Or were they?

After nearly five years in power, the strains inside the second Gladstone government were beginning to show. Indeed, both main parties were having trouble, above all with their respective awkward squads. The Radicals in the Liberal Party were always demanding more and greater reform. Meanwhile, the ‘Fourth Party' launched inside the Conservatives by Lord Randolph Churchill (father of the more famous Winston) demanded more ‘Tory democracy', though it's not clear what that meant, except that it always seemed to lead to the political progress of Churchill himself. With the Reform Act of 1884 as its only major accomplishment, Gladstone's government staggered on towards its end. Both main parties realised that the Irish MPs would be crucial to the formation of a new government after the next election, the first to be held on the basis of the extended electorate brought in by the Reform Act, and both were therefore courting Parnell. He, indeed, worked with the Tories to bring down Gladstone in a Commons vote on a financial question. Then, with Salisbury leading a minority government to cover the time until the new electoral register was complete and an election could be held, Parnell took part in negotiations with both sides, in the hope of advancing his cause of Irish Home Rule. That led to a lot of secret negotiations hidden behind a veil of universal dishonesty. The consequence was that Home Rule was now firmly back on the political agenda. It would be the great issue of the next couple of years. Which, in turn, would make it the determining factor in convulsions about to rock the British political system.

In this impromptu episode we discuss the unusual and rarely talked about incident of Continental 2574. There is very interesting numerology, where the crash happened, and the "AIR 21 ACT" that was passed by congress just 17 months prior to 9/11. We also discuss Peter Flaherty going rogue at the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, and a dire message from SouthernPrepper1.

As the second Gladstone government approached its end, it had little enough to point to as major successes. Some measures had been passed to try to pacify Ireland, but that sad country was still far from reconciled to British rule. There'd been colonial disasters in South Africa and Sudan. There'd been the Labouchère amendment, not perhaps seen as all that significant at the time, but something that would open the doors for eighty years of shameful treatment of gays, leading to Oscar Wilde's imprisonment and Alan Turing's suicide. Then, at last, the government came up with one really major achievement. That was the 1884 Reform Act, which added nearly three million new voters to the electorate. They were all men and still only 60% of them, but it was still a significant advance. Lord Salisbury, who'd got his fingers burned in the painful and ultimately failed campaign to block the Arrears Act for Ireland, this time adopted a cannier approach and worked hard to stiffen up his support. He took the line of refusing to let Reform through the House of Lords, where the Conservatives had a built-in majority, unless it was accompanied by Commons seat redistribution, to mitigate the damaging effect on his party's electoral chances. This time he was successful, reversing the damage to his standing caused by the earlier failure, and putting him in a strong position to become sole leader of the Conservatives when the existing dual leadership with Stafford Northcote ended. Reform had proved successful for both main party leaders.

Given that we live in an era roiled by concerns about how democratic supposedly democratic countries actually are and when skepticism abounds about how truly representative our electoral systems are, a scholarly study of debates on many of these issues among leading theorists of democracy in Victorian Britain is just the ticket. That is what is on offer in Gregory Conti's book Parliament the Mirror of the Nation: Representation, Deliberation, and Democracy in Victorian Britain (Cambridge UP, 2019). Conti employs the tools of the fields of political theory and political and intellectual history to render vivid and touching the fierce debates among such well-known figures as John Stuart Mill and Walter Bagehot, as well as “in-between” figures such as Thomas Hare (1806–1891). Fierce in terms of the sometimes cruel lampooning of their respective opponents and touching in that many of the proponents of these proposed reforms (e.g., proportional representation and the single transferable vote) were convinced that their nostrums would usher in a golden age for Britain's parliament and, thereby, the nation. Note, though, that for many of the figures in this book it was the proper workings of Parliament and its capacity for reasoned deliberation that they cared about, not so much democratic processes per se in terms of how representatives got elected to it. Indeed, much of what was advocated was designed to keep certain groups out of Parliament and government generally. For many of the thinkers discussed in this book, Parliament in its member makeup should mirror the composition of the nation at large. This was particularly true of adherents of the variety-of-suffrages theory who pined for the hodgepodge of electoral constituencies (especially those in the countryside that were controlled by aristocrats and which were derisively referred to as “rotten boroughs” or “pocket boroughs”) that prevailed before passage of the Reform Act of 1832. Bagehot was of this school. Others, like Mill and Hare, were enamored of the rather complex system of proportional representation, believing that it would militate against what they saw as the evil of too much power devolving to political parties, which they feared would be dominated by intellectually inferior plebians. The word “swamped” was often used. Finally, there were straight-up democrats such as the future leader of the Labour Party and future prime minister, Ramsay MacDonald, who opposed proportional representation as fundamentally elitist and a hindrance to robust debate and effective government. Conti's book is a fascinating exploration of a relatively neglected period in the history of discourse on what democracies need to thrive, who should be allowed to vote, how voting should be done and whether votes mattered so much as seats in Parliament. There were even arguments that if some people did not get to vote but their interests were represented, that was good enough.
