What is model paragraph?Show answer
The net effect of militancy is best read as double-edged. On one hand the WSPU's campaign from 1905 transformed a marginal issue into front-page news, energised activists and made suffrage impossible to ignore, so that no politician could treat it as settled. On the other, the escalation to arson and the spectacle of force-feeding alienated moderate opinion and handed Asquith a pretext to stall, while splitting the WSPU itself (the expulsion of the Pethick-Lawrences in 1912).
