27
Q

P3 why developments abroad important

A

It could be argued that developments abroad were important in making Britain more democratic. This is because the British government were supporting democratic reforms in other parts of the world, and din’t think it was a bad idea to do the same in Britain. Also, politicians had seen what an unhappy working class were capable of and they didn’t want a revolution to happen in Britain.

28
Q

P3 why developments abroad not important

A

However, it could also be argued that developments abroad were not the most important reason why Britain became more democratic, as there wasn’t any evidence that people in Britain were planning a revolution and weren’t going to do anything violent to make the government give them the vote. Also, Britain gave women the vote before a lot of other countries like France and America,so they weren’t influenced by other countries to become more democratic.

29
Q

P3 Overall…

A

Overall, while developments abroad were an important reason why Britain became more democratic,they were not as important as WW1.

Q

P4 Topic sentence

A

The fourth factor to be discussed is pressure groups.

32
Q

P4 - backround info - men

A

In the 1800’s, some pressure groups in Britain were the National Reform Union who wanted votes for all ratepayers and a secret ballot, as well as the Reform League who used more violent protests to try and get a secret ballot and votes for all men.

33
Q

P4 - backround information - women

A

Also the National Union of Womens Suffrage Societies, who used peaceful methods to try and get women the vote, and the Womens Social and Political Union who were created to use more extreme methods to try and get women the vote, as people felt the suffraggists weren’t doing enough.

34
Q

P4 - why pressure groups important

A

It could be argued that pressure groups were important in making Britain more democratic as they got attention about democratic issues and gave people who couldn’t vote a way to say what they wanted.

35
Q

P4 - why pressure groups not important

A

However, it could be argued that pressure groups were not the moost important factor in making Britain more democratic as groups like the the Reform League and suffragettes were disliked as they used more violent methods of protesting, so politicians didn’t think they were worthy of being allowed to vote, and viewed them as terrorists, which may have made them even less likely to be allowed to vote.

36
Q

P4 - overall…

A

Overall, pressure groups were important in making Britain more democratic, but not as important as WW1. This is because although pressure groups did raise a lot of awareness about making Britain more democratic, politicians didn’t like the radical ways they protested, and didn’t think they could be trusted to vote, while WW1 helped convince politicians that people should be trusted to vote because of everything people did for the war effort.
