On 30 May 2024 Parliament was dissolved and the process of campaigning for a modern day General Election began. But as politicians make media rounds and knock on doors in their constituency, you might be wondering just how modern these processes are…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this page the History of Parliament are looking at the process of a General Election in the 18th century; the electorate certainly looked very different, but what about the electioneering process? Here we’ll discuss the parties of the day and how they generated support, through a new collections of blogs, videos and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overseen by Dr Robin Eagles and Connie Jeffery, posts come from History of Parliament colleagues, with help from the ECPPEC project, and videos from Lucy Haddock-Williams and Sam Owen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
