Democracy is an old tradition in this country.
Time was when the landlord's agent used to turn up in the pub with a bag of gold.
'Who wants to show their gratitude to his lordship by giving their vote to his second son, who represents the village, the estate and the country, the party of patriotism, monarchy and death to the French, the party that can treat you to a gallon of strong ale and five golden guineas?'
