Abstract:
|
This paper seeks to “measure” the free trade ideas that MPs were exposed to in their constituencies from 1841 to 1846, and then link this to their voting records in Parliament. I use local newspaper coverage of trade policy in 1841 and 1846 to compare the prevalence of free trade ideas in the districts of Peelites and Non-Peelite Conservatives in order to examine the change from 1841 to 1846. The results provide empirical evidence of the increased intensity in lobbying by the Anti-Corn Law League from 1841 to 1846, thereby increasing the demand for Repeal. Yet, it is also found that Peelites did not experience any dramatic changes in the ideas to which they were exposed in their constituencies, thus strengthening the argument that the abrupt reversal of the Peelites was not simply the product of demand-side pressures. |
