rotten boroughs
Définition
- Rotten boroughs is primarily an English term used to describe electoral districts with very small populations. Initially the phrase applied to English districts in the late seventeenth century, but today, the term typically refers to the dominant political party within a district, which likely remains uncontested due to their popular constituency support.
