Search Results: husband likes other women

Think about it: the number of votes cast doubles (which is a massive difference), yet the vote shares of political parties remain the same. There is no real change in party platforms or campaign messaging. In other words, women vote for the same candidate their husbands support. It is certainly a step forward for democracy, but not a revolution; it could be compared to an indirect electoral system.

If we are going to talk about what a revolution actually is, then a better example would be the extension of voting rights to the working class in Britain in the 1860s. A large mass of people enters politics and, through its struggle, turns the established order upside down. Political parties are forced to adjust their promises and programs. Likewise, the enfranchisement of Black Americans can also be cited as an example.

If women had only gained the right to vote today, then we could probably call it a revolution, considering that they make up the core of the SJW movement.
