Suffragists V Suffragettes (acapella-off)
The Suffragists and the Suffragettes were two groups of campaigning women, both wanted the right to vote, but each had very different methods. Which method was better? Only one way to find out...

LYRICS:
Suffragists ain’t reckless
We’ll take this nice and slow
Democratic methods
Gonna get us the vote
Got a long list of signatures
That is how we campaign
Here’s a blank space, Pankhurst
And you can write your name.
Articles, leaflets, pamphlets
I could show you persuasive things
Moderate, read you all
I don't need any railings
I should say thank you for the breakthrough, with a brand-new approach
Get the vote today
W-S-P-U all the way
Violent action will pay, will pay, yeah
We’re the Suffragettes we stick it to the man
Peaceful campaigning is a time-wasting scam
Whatever it takes to publicise the cause
When I’m all chained up I swear they’re gonna, they’re gonna change the law
Oh, I exploded your post-box
Cos votes is – votes would be nice, nice, baby
Votes would be nice, nice, baby.
Stop and sign the petition
I’m back with a brand-new edition
This will grab a hold of you tightly
Forceful arguments phrased politely...
