The Dispatch of Business - A Satirical Comment on the Conflicting Approaches of Benjamin Disraeli and William Gladstone to Electoral Reform
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a political cartoon from the Victorian era, created in 1866. This intriguing image, a commentary on the ongoing debate surrounding electoral reform in Britain during the 1860s, features two prominent political figures of the time: Benjamin Disraeli, the Conservative Party leader, and William Gladstone, the Liberal Party leader. The cartoon depicts Disraeli and Gladstone engaged in a humorous tug-of-war over a legislative bill, symbolizing the ongoing debate over electoral reform. Disraeli, represented as a well-dressed man riding a donkey, is pulling the bill's tail with all his might. Gladstone, portrayed as a disheveled man, is attempting to hamper Disraeli's progress by pulling the other end of the bill's tail. The donkey, a symbol of a foolish or stupid person, is shown with its rear end in the air, emphasizing the absurdity of the situation. The cartoon's title, "The Dispatch of Business," is a playful reference to the political maneuvering and horse-trading that often took place during the passage of legislation in the British Parliament. The image is a satirical commentary on the conflicting approaches of the Conservative and Liberal parties to electoral reform. Disraeli, represented as the one obstructing the reform, is ridiculed for his resistance to expanding the franchise and enfranchisement, while Gladstone, the reformist, is shown as the one trying to move the process forward. Overall, this cartoon provides a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of the time and the satirical commentary that accompanied the ongoing debates surrounding electoral reform in Victorian Britain.
