Gloucester (UK Parliament Constituency)
Gloucester is a constituency centred on the cathedral city and county town of the same name, represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament by Richard Graham of the Conservative Party. History A borough of Gloucester was established by 1295 that returned two burgesses as Members of Parliament to the House of Commons. Its population meant this was a situation not leading to an outright rotten borough identified for abolition under the Reform Act 1832 however on more fair (far more equal representation) national changes in 1885, representation was reduced to one member under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885. Profile Since 1979 Gloucester has been a bellwether constituency by passing between representatives of the two largest parties in the same way as the government.

Reform Act 1832
The Representation of the People Act 1832 (also known as the 1832 Reform Act, Great Reform Act or First Reform Act) was an Act of Parliament, Act of Parliament of the United Kingdom (indexed as 2 & 3 Will. IV c. 45) that introduced major changes to the Voting system, electoral system of England and Wales. It abolished tiny Electoral district, districts, gave representation to cities, gave the vote to small landowners, tenant farmers, shopkeepers, householders who paid a yearly rental of £10 or more, and some lodgers. Only qualifying men were Suffrage, able to vote; the Act introduced the first explicit statutory bar to Women's suffrage, women voting by defining a voter as a male person. It was designed to correct abuses – to "take effectual Measures for correcting divers Abuses that have long prevailed in the Choice of Members to serve in the British House of Commons, Commons House of Parliament". Before the reform, most members nominally represented boroughs. The number of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
