- Neutral, with reservations, for now, article reads well, has a lot of facts, but it seems very POV in syntax, feeling like it is offering an opinon on various historical issues, and persents the couse of events as active observer instead of an passive observer. That said, the feel of an active observer may be a good thing, it makes the article unique, but that may not be fit for an encyclopedia enviroment. Ctrl_build 02:35 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- Support. However, there are some rather odd capitalisations (e.g. "People", "Ministry") and the odd typo ("ministery"). It may also be worth mentioning that the threat that forced the House of Lords to pass the Reform Act 1832 (viz, ennobling a sufficient number of new sympathetic peers) was also required to pass the Parliament Act 1911. -- ALoan (Talk) 18:42, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Addressed, but "the People" (capitalised and with the definite article) refers to the political unit or electorate. -- Emsworth 20:05, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Great - still support - but I think it is a bit misleading to refer to the British electorate in the early 19th century (before the Reform Acts; before universal suffrage) as "the People". There were an awful lot of people who were not members of "the People". -- ALoan (Talk) 20:25, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- It would be great if we found a better image, if possible. ✏ Sverdrup 10:16, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
