The Tories were politicians favoured by royal authority and the established church, and who sought to preserve the traditional political structure. So basically, the Tories were only interested in surving the wealthy.  The House of Lords is a politcal house in which wealthy, noblemen are pretty much born into. \n\nThere is much more information so read up! GOOD LUCK!

I don't think this is a very good thesis. The UK was the first country to go from non-industrial to industrial, but the conditions then were very different from what they are now. An LEDC faces completely different conditions than the problems that Britain had to face back then.\n\nBut some things that were the same would be: poor transportation (in the early 1800s, not in 1900), uneducated workforce (although Britain had a fairly high literacy rate by 1900), poor power infrastructure, poor health care system, lack of reliable and stable democratic government (in early 1800s, not 1900)\n\nA widely recognized expert on this topic is E. J Hobshawm who wrote a book "Industry and Empire" specifically about this. If you need to do a term paper, that would be a good source.

I believe it was due ot religious intolerance - they wished to be able to practise their own religion freely, which they were not permitted to do in England.

It might be the reformmating that did it.

Probably so that they could communicate and learn to ask proper questions.  I'm sorry I know lots about the victorian era but your question makes no sense to me at all.

I have heard that one of the reasons that Britain got away from being religious was because of the troubles between Catholics, Anglicans, and Puritans early on.  The Government in Britain went back and forth between loyalties and persecution would be against the Anglicans for a time, and then against the Catholics for a time, and back and forth.  People basically got fed up and stayed home.\n\nIn America, a lot of people supposedly came here for the main purpose of religious freedom.  You would have to be a pretty devoted person to pack up and leave everything you knew to come to a newly discovered frontier land.  So maybe historically, that is the reason.

Basically because the UK government thinks it's necessary to legislate everything.\n\nIt is actually very heavily regulated through such acts as the 1979 Estate Agents Acts and the 1991 Property Misdescriptions Act but with a government that's introducing legislation 8 times faster than at any time in history they have to legislate anything and everything they can.\n\nThe recent Financial Services Act was meant to clean up the financial services industry and consequently the buying and selling of property.  It hasn't cleaned up anything but it has introduced huge amounts of paperwork and made it obligatory to subscribe to the act (at huge expense which the government gets).\n\nThere's already a vast amount of legislation in place and if anything, the government needs to cut back on the tangles mass of rules and regulations and simplify it so that everyone has a clearer idea of where they stand.

Until the early years of the 20th century, the House of Lords had the power to prevent legislation, as bills had to be passed by both Houses of Parliament.\n\nDavid Lloyd-George's so-called 'people's budget' of 1909 brought this arrangement under strain, when the House of Lords originally refused to pass it. Eventually, the budget was passed after a general election in 1910; a second election was then fought on the issue of reform of the House of Lords. The result was the Parliament Act of 1911, which removed from the House of Lords the power to veto a bill, except one to prolong the lifetime of a parliament. Instead, the Lords could delay a bill by up to two years. The Act also reduced the maximum lifespan of a Parliament from seven years to its present five years.

I agree with you that the whole Islam needs reform. This does not mean that other religions do not need the same (Christianity and Jaudism have already gone through alot of reform).

Because law was no longer a fiat of a heredetary monarch but by consultation of noble subjects and later  representatives of the governed in  Parliament.

There was a rise in moral "cleansing" (think Radical Right) because of the Roaring 20s.  People felt that it was their puritanical duty to prevent sin during this newly (but not quite revolutional) taboo era.\n\nAlso, the government wasn't taxing alcohol like the last guy said and it was brought back into circulation once they figured out how to do so.
