About this Item

Print on Demand. This book examines how the current Reform Acts implemented in 1885 have had a profound impact as the culmination of a gradual shift in governance over the last fifty years. The people are finally being represented by the people, and thus ideas and concerns that have been previously ignored will now be addressed. It is a critical time to be a Radical Liberal, as there is now a real opportunity for action. The author develops a comprehensive program for the Radical party that includes both practical and constructive proposals for how the country should be governed. The proposed program for the Radical party focuses on themes such as ending the power of inherited wealth and birth, and instead placing importance on the obligations of property. The author presents a compelling argument that those who have a vested interest in the nation should pay their fair share in taxes. Among the key measures under discussion are reforms to the education system, ending the dominance of the Church, and agricultural reforms. One of the most radical proposals is a scheme for the government to purchase unsanitary properties and rehouse the poor. This book will encourage debate and action amongst those who seek a fairer and more just society, and gives readers a unique opportunity to understand the key debates of the time, and how they resonate in today's political climate. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Synopsis

This book examines how the current Reform Acts implemented in 1885 have had a profound impact as the culmination of a gradual shift in governance over the last fifty years. The people are finally being represented by the people, and thus ideas and concerns that have been previously ignored will now be addressed. It is a critical time to be a Radical Liberal, as there is now a real opportunity for action. The author develops a comprehensive program for the Radical party that includes both practical and constructive proposals for how the country should be governed. The proposed program for the Radical party focuses on themes such as ending the power of inherited wealth and birth, and instead placing importance on the obligations of property. The author presents a compelling argument that those who have a vested interest in the nation should pay their fair share in taxes. Among the key measures under discussion are reforms to the education system, ending the dominance of the Church, and agricultural reforms. One of the most radical proposals is a scheme for the government to purchase unsanitary properties and rehouse the poor. This book will encourage debate and action amongst those who seek a fairer and more just society, and gives readers a unique opportunity to understand the key debates of the time, and how they resonate in today's political climate.
