Dive into the intriguing world of 18th-century politics where the term rotten borough wasnt just a term, but a reality. This system allowed a few, sometimes even one, property owner(s) to choose the local member of parliament. This podcast takes you through the transformative Reform Acts of 1832, 1857, and 1884 that put an end to this system, but led to a new version of a rotten borough - a constituency manipulated for personal gain. Imagine a town, where the newly elected mayor, a reformer who won by a single vote, is found mysteriously murdered in his office, the Mayors Parlour. The plot thickens as the mayors eager nephew from London steps in, determined to hunt down the killer. His journey is fraught with challenges, and the final revelation takes him and many others by surprise. Join us as we unravel this thrilling narrative. (Nicholas Clifford)
