Editing Chartism (section)

===Eventual reforms===
Chartism did not directly generate any reforms. However, after 1848, as the movement faded, its demands appeared less threatening and were gradually enacted by other reformers.<ref>Margot C. Finn, ''After Chartism: Class and Nation in English Radical Politics 1848–1874'' (2004)</ref> Middle-class [[Radicals (UK)|parliamentary Radicals]] continued to press for an extension of the franchise in such organisations as the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association and the Reform Union. By the late 1850s, the celebrated [[John Bright]] was agitating in the country for franchise reform. But working-class radicals had not gone away. The Reform League campaigned for manhood suffrage in the 1860s and included former Chartists in its ranks.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Origins of the Twenty-First Century|author=Gabriel Tortella|year=2010|page=88}}</ref>

In 1867 part of the urban working men was admitted to the franchise under the [[Reform Act 1867]], and in 1918 full manhood suffrage was achieved. Other points of the People's Charter were granted: secret voting was introduced in 1872 and the payment of MPs in 1911.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.parliament.uk/about/faqs/house-of-commons-faqs/members-faq-page2/#jump-link-15|title=Frequently Asked Questions: MPs - UK Parliament}}</ref> Annual elections remain the only Chartist demand not to be implemented.<ref>[https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/transformingsociety/electionsvoting/chartists/case-study/the-right-to-vote/the-chartists-and-birmingham/the-chartist-legacy/ ''The Chartist Legacy'', Parliament.UK'']</ref>
