History: Oh No, not another election!' - A history of struggle for votes for all
Many of us are unenthusiastic in the run up and aftermath of a General Election and a sizeable minority of us do not vote at all. But at the beginning of the 19th century only a tiny majority of men had the right to vote.

What was the impact of these protests and the reaction of the authorities? Join us to find out more
