Any Reform Bill which is worth a moment's thought, or the smallest effort to carry it, must at least double, and it ought to do much more than double, the representation of the metropolitan boroughs and of all the great cities of the United Kingdom.

WHAT DOES REFORM BILL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Reform Act

In the United Kingdom, Reform Act is a generic term used for legislation concerning electoral matters. It is most commonly used for laws passed to enfranchise new groups of voters and to redistribute seats in the British House of Commons. The periodic redrawing of constituency boundaries is now dealt with by a permanent Boundary Commission in each part of the United Kingdom, rather than by a Reform Act. Some people in Britain, mostly associated with the Liberal Democrats, have called for a new "Great Reform Act" to introduce electoral changes they favour. These would include lowering the minimum voting age to 16 and introducing proportional representation. Reform Act may refer to: ▪ Reform Act 1832, which gave representation to previously underrepresented urban areas and extended the qualifications for voting ▪ Scottish Reform Act 1832, a similar reform applying to Scotland ▪ Irish Reform Act 1832, a similar reform applying to Ireland ▪ Reform Act 1867...
