Such boroughs were called “rotten boroughs”.įurthermore, by the 18th century, most boroughs had not been updated to reflect the demographic changes, which meant that a small town that had declined significantly since they were granted a borough charter entitling them to electing MPs were still electing them while a rapidly growing industrial city nearby still don’t have their own MPs, thus giving such towns of otherwise significantly minor importance a disproportionate amount of influence in the Parliament. Many boroughs were also notoriously corrupt, with known cases where their electors would even put their votes for bidding, essentially selling their votes. In English and British parliaments prior to the Great Reform Act of 1832 and later Reform Acts, their elected House of Commons was not particularly representative, with many boroughs having had only a fraction of their population actually possessed a right to vote because of property qualifications required.

This, I think, would complement your suggestion regarding the creation of peerage titles (Barons, Viscounts, Earls/Counts, Marquesses, and Dukes in ascending order of rank), especially if the parliament could be configured in a way that it can evolve as an institution. However, I would also suggest, as an option, a parliament, with an elected lower house and the aristocratic upper house, for the monarchy to deal with, especially through a Prime Minister who would be chosen from among the sitting Members or Lords of Parliament. While I think this idea is unlikely (but one can only hope!) as I suspect it would probably be so far out of scope for this game, I do like this idea.
