This cartoon depicts Jack Lynch, Major James Chichester-Clark, Viscount Quintin McGarel Hailsham, James Callaghan, Pope Paul VI. On the left hand side there is a signpost with the words 'reforms finish line' written on it. There is an over-sized [tortoise] shell in the middle of the picture with a man's head coming out of it. There are two figures holding placards, one saying 'Bring in the UN' and the other saying 'One Man, One Vote'. [The scene depicts a large brawl].
