The other candidates in the general election were Liberals but I don't think anything would have been said about it if Houlding was a Liberal somehow. Labour weren't the alternative until 1922. The point is the fact that he was a Tory was not unusual.

Who was actually able to vote in 1892?

 

Trying to make something out of Houlding being a Tory is judging 19th Century politics by 21st Century standards and that's just stupid and historically illiterate.

Here's the result in the 1892 general election in Everton. This carried on after universal suffrage, with the seat changing hands. As I said, no big deal. They even had a majority in the city until 1964.

Essentially you had to be a male, over 21 and paying an annual rent of £10 or owning land valued at £10 or more. Woman had no vote and even around 40% of men could not vote.

Politics for the Gentry. Some would like to see a return to these sad times, keep the plebs in their place and teach them to be grateful for the shit they are served.

Fortunately, all the people who've owned clubs since are all ideologically sound, beneficent, working class heroes. 

It's funny they could bring that up, when they loved the Mersey millionaires tag, they loved having moshiri and are desperate for uncle uzzie to be involved. As soon as they get a sniff of money, they can wait to swing their dicks and be as big a Tory "I'm alright jack, considerably richer than you" cunts as you can imagine.

£300m would take them safely out of the relegation zone. Maybe even around mid table.

Not the way those stupid cunts spend it.  They'd just stockpile more crap players who would be classed as "world beaters better than the redshite" only to be dismissed as utter turd several weeks later.

And they'd still find a way to blame the redshite for their demise.
