The Veto Bill
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a political cartoon created by W.H. Toy in February 1911, during a pivotal moment in British political history. The cartoon depicts a determined-looking man, identified as the House of Commons, holding a large bill labeled "Veto Bill" and standing over a reclining figure of the House of Lords. The Lords, adorned with coronets and dressed in robes, appears surprised and alarmed as he reaches out to sign the document, which is labeled "Peers' Powers Guarantees." The Veto Bill was a piece of legislation designed to limit the powers of veto held by the House of Lords. The bill was a response to the House of Lords' rejection of the People's Budget, presented by Chancellor of the Exchequer David Lloyd George in 1909. The rejection sparked public outrage and calls for reform, leading to the passage of the Parliament Act 1911, which effectively reduced the Lords' power to reject legislation passed by the Commons. In the cartoon, Toy captures the political tension and drama of the moment. The scene takes place in a Whitehall office, with the review of the bill taking place at a large desk in the foreground. The Commons, holding a quill pen, hovers over the document, ready to sign it into law. The Lords, in the background, looks on in disbelief, clutching a newspaper and reading the headlines of the day. The cartoon's title, "The Veto Bill," is written in bold letters above the scene, emphasizing the significance of the moment. The passage of the Veto Bill marked a turning point in the survival of the House of Lords as a powerful political institution. While the Lords' powers were not entirely abolished, the legislation represented a significant limitation on their ability to block legislation passed by the Commons. The cartoon serves as a visual reminder of this moment in history, capturing the political drama and the shifting balance of power in Westminster politics.
