The rise of socialism was another factor to why the Liberal Government was brought to its knees by 1921. The Socialists had always posed a problem for the Liberal Government. With changes in the political system in 1919 along with the majority of men being able to vote as a reward from the war, the Socialists managed to gain more support, having a total of 156 seats in the November 1919 election. The socialist Party (PSI) was committed to revolution and dictatorship of the proletariat (the working class).
