Interesting watching Newsnight that before the act of parliament which is celebrating  its centenary (The Representation of the People Act),  almost 40% of adult men were also ineligible to vote.

In other words you had to be a Tory  :rolleyes:

Not all parts of the UK followed the same rules in who could and who could not vote in a general election or, I believe, in local elections until much later and even now differences exist within what are now devolved assemblies / parliaments e.g. age wise
