 | | Robert Lowe, 1st Viscount Sherbrooke (December 4, 1811 – July 27, 1892), British statesman, was born at Bingham, Nottinghamshire, where his father was the rector. |
 | | As he said in the third reading of the Bill, Lowe thought any step towards democracy was bad because it engendered "a right existing in the individual as opposed to general expediency… numbers as against wealth and intellect" (pg 1540 Hansard 15/7/1867). |
 | | As it was the case that participation in Parliament was also only possibly through possession of property, Lowe was fearful that a change in one part of the world he understood would lead to another, ending in unforseeable chaos. |
