Of the original demands put forward by the Chartists in the People's Charter all but one demand has thus far been met, namely that of annual general elections. In the timelines I have read where the Chartists are fully successful in implementing their demands this one tends to be dropped as a compromise.
What would the political ramifications of annual general elections be on the UK, and would it have been as egalitarian as the Chartists assumed?
