The Kingdom of Great Britain was created in 1707 and in 1801 it became the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1927 it was called United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland when the Irish Free State got full
independence.

The UK is not a democracy it is a constitutional monarchy. But I know what you
mean. Again the answer is complicated by "suffrage". By 1918 all citizens over
21 had the right to vote (Northern Ireland is a special case as some citizens
had two or more votes). The first English parliament was created in 1295 but
that was hardly democratic as the parliamentarians were all Lords of the Realm.
