we'll see

I did like the Clegg speech, linked on that page, where he said that this would be "The biggest shake up of our democracy since 1832".

Women got the vote in the UK in 1918.

What exactly is he doing that is a "bigger shake up in our democracy" than the introduction of universal suffrage?
