Die Karikatur thematisiert den britischen "Reform Act" von 1832, bei dem die traditionelle Einteilung der Wahlkreise abgeändert wurde.

"Your Grace was kind enough to say that you withdrew your important motion solely out of deference to my opinion - would you for the same reason be so good as to relinquish your opposition to the Reform Bill?"
