The 1924 government were a strange bunch you had the likes of Jimmy Thomas who basically just wanted power! This post has been edited by steve201: 25th September 2023, 10:32 PM

They were, of course, all men. After all women (over 30) hd only had the vote for five years at the time of the election (December 1923).

Yes, it was 21 (for everybody) at the time. It was reduced to 18 in time for the 1970 General Election.
