The Coming Struggle: A Satirical Look at the Political Race for Electoral Reform in 1860s Britain This intriguing political cartoon, titled "The Coming Struggle," depicts a heated Boat Race on the Thames River, with two prominent Victorian-era politicians, Benjamin Disraeli and William E. Gladstone, locked in a fierce competition. The year is 1866, and the main issue at stake is electoral reform, a contentious debate that would ultimately lead to the passing of the Reform Act of 1867. Disraeli, the Conservative Party leader, is shown as the powerful oarsman in the lead boat, rowing with determination and focus. His opponent, Gladstone, the Liberal Party leader, is portrayed as a skilled rower in the trailing boat, equally determined to win the race. The radical MP, John Bright, is depicted in a separate boat in the background, cheering on Gladstone and adding his support to the Liberal cause. Lord John Russell, a former Prime Minister and a key figure in the Liberal Party, acts as the Coxswain of the Government (Liberal) boat, steering the direction of the debate and urging Gladstone forward. The cartoon's title, "The Coming Struggle," emphasizes the intense competition and the significance of the moment, with the outcome of the race potentially shaping the future of British politics. The use of the Boat Race as an analogy for politics adds a unique and engaging perspective to the debate, highlighting the intensity and importance of the electoral reform issue. The cartoon's satirical nature, with its humorous depiction of the politicians as rowers, underscores the significance of the moment while also adding a touch of levity to the proceedings. Overall, "The Coming Struggle" is a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of 1860s Britain and the intense debates that shaped the country's democratic future.
