UK General Election 1906 - Winners as the True Blue
The General Election - Comic postcard showing the delight amid the working class at the landslide defeat for the Conservative Party and their Liberal Unionist allies, the primary reason given by historians as the partys weakness after its split over the issue of free trade (Joseph Chamberlain had resigned from government in September 1903 in order to campaign for Tariff Reform, which would allow preferential tariffs ). Many working-class people saw this as a threat to the price of food, hence the debate was nicknamed Big Loaf, Little Loaf. Date: 1906

EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard from the UK General Election of 1906 vividly depicts the jubilant mood among the working class as they celebrate the landslide defeat of the Conservative Party and their Liberal Unionist allies. Historians attribute this surprising outcome to the party's internal divisions over the issue of free trade, which had led to the resignation of Joseph Chamberlain in September 1903 in favor of Tariff Reform. The debate, popularly known as "Big Loaf, Little Loaf," raised concerns among working-class people that this policy would threaten the affordability of essentials like bread and food. In this image, we see a horse-drawn carriage filled with victorious voters, their faces beaming with happiness and success. The coachmen and farmers in the background join in the celebration, adding to the festive atmosphere. Countryfolk and yokels, as they were often referred to, hold up signs expressing their satisfaction with the election results. The overall scene is a testament to the profound impact of political divisions on the lives of ordinary people and the significance of their collective voice in shaping the nation's future.
