As we all know, the first major reform of the British Parliament came in 1832, with the passage of the Great Reform Act.
However, there were numerous attempts to reform Parliament and abolish the rotten boroughs beforehand - most notably in 1785, when William Pitt the Younger's Government attempted to pass a Bill which would have carried out many of the reforms which the Great Reform Act did - for example, the abolition of rotten boroughs, extension of the franchise and an increase in representation for areas which had seen a major population increase as a result of the Industrial Revolution.
Yet this Bill was not passed, and so plans for reforming the House of Commons were abandoned. However, what would be the effects on history if Pitt had successfully passed the Bill through both houses of Parliament and it came into law? Would would be the effects of Parliamentary Reform being introduced almost half a century prior to when it was?
