In the 19th Century there was a growth in political parties, the Rotten Boroughs population changed and the demographics lead to the rise of the industrial north in Manchester and Liverpool within the factory system. Politically England were much more sophisticated to compromise compared where the question arose as to why there wasn't a revolution like there was in France.
The Reform Act in 1832 lead to a shift of representation towards the North where the vote was extended to everybody. The system was fixed so that the age to vote was lowered. There was a re- appeal of the corn laws as the system was rotten to the core as told by Dickens and Cobbett at the end of the Tory V Gladstone liberals Conservative party.
Post war socialism saw the rise of the Labour party where there was a strike in the 1920s. People did go back to the Conservative party during the depression years. After the 2nd World War in 1945 the first 'proper' Labour government had a secure majority. There were many social demographic reforms of the NHS, Reynesian Economics, trade unions dismounting of the British Empire - Indian independence.
During the time of Churchill the country was still devastated after the war and so Clemence Atley changed modern Britain 'fair shares for all'. People elected Labour , Clemence Atley as he proposed Britain's Welfare System - The NHS, William Beveridge. Labour took Beveridge who created the NHS which is the biggest expenditure- biggest risk.
The public money (keynesian economics) flood the country with money. Beveridge report - national insurance 'from cradle to grave'. In the 1970s it was a disaster for Labour, left wing unions and Labour were close, unions were powerful. In 1979 it was a Winter of Discontent unions remained powerful there were huge strikes, even grave diggers were forced to strike. The Labour government introduced gas, electricity and public servants paid by taxes. The State was powerful and so were the workers that were organised by unions. Unions asked for a pay rise of 9% and everyone was out on strike. You would want the trade unions destroyed, you would want more reliable services when things are funded by public there is a struggle. Private industry were more ruthless you would want to privatise all the companies.
Margaret Thatcher was the person to do this. She went for the minors to wipe them out so all of the unions would know about her. Miners were the biggest trade unions at this point. The 80s boom lead to selling of industries to private sectors, British Gas, British Airways, if you are brave enough you will get your money.
