  Your link seems to go to the article itself. What function did you try to use? Did you try to reference this paragraph? >Up until then, sugar planters from rich British islands such as the Colony of Jamaica and Barbados were able to buy rotten and pocket boroughs, and they were able to form a body of resistance to moves to abolish slavery itself. This West India Lobby, which later evolved into the West India Committee, purchased enough seats to be able to resist the overtures of abolitionists. However, the Reform Act 1832 swept away their rotten borough seats, clearing the way for a majority of members of the House of Commons to push through a law to abolish slavery itself throughout the British Empire.[21]

        It's had good support for a couple years now, but only Mozilla is lagging for some reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
