Of course not. You still had to own property of a certain value or be a long-term leaseholder of a more expensive property in the country, or in a borough be a male adult inhabitant of a property with a rent above £10 a year. Different provisions applied to Scotland. There were many other provisions, but only a quarter to a third of men qualified.
