The Great Reform Act of 1832.
Reform Party of British Columbia was created in 1983.
The Representation of the People Act 1832, also known as the first "Reform Act or Great Reform Act" it disenfranchised 56 boroughs in England and Wales and reduced another 31 to only one MP created 67 new constituencies. This made sure of a reasonable proptionate representation. It broadened the franchise's property qualification in the counties, to include small landowners, tenant farmers, and shopkeepers and created a uniform franchise in the boroughs, giving the vote to all householders who paid a yearly rental of £10 or more and some lodgers. Basically the 1832 Reform Act abolished the 40 shilling (UK Currency of the time) franchise which had its origins in a statute going back to 1429 limiting who could vote for the knights of the shire - these were the most prominent members of the Commons at the time. The 1832 Reform Act also altered the way that representatives - previously called burgesses - for the boroughs were selected.
