Basic reasons for the failure of Chartism

The main problem was how to achieve a revolutionary goal by constitutional means.

  • It failed to obtain parliamentary support for the Charter.
  • The middle-classes either ignored, shunned or condemned Chartism.
  • Chartists were divided among themselves.
  • Government handled the movement firmly and calmly.
  • Chartist demands were too drastic.
  • There was too much diversity in the intellectual and ideological aims of Chartism.
  • Other movements offering more immediate and tangible benefits attracted chartists.
  • The socio-economic position improved after 1842. Prosperity eliminated mass support.
  • Chartism and the Chartists were made to look ridiculous after Kennington Common, and the failure of the Land Plan.
  • The changing sociology of England after railways fragmented the 'unity' of the working classes.
  • Chartism tore itself apart
