Details |
Cartoon, The Rival Conductors -- a satirical comment on electoral reform, as represented by Gladstone (Liberal, left) and Disraeli (Conservative, right). Mrs Britannia (in the likeness of the late reforming Liberal politician Richard Cobden) is trying to decide which bus to get on. Dizzy reassures her/him: "Better go with us ... we're going just as far as he does!" Disraeli's bus is marked ALL THE WAY, suggesting a generous extension to the suffrage. Ironically, though, it did not include women.
