Ship owner Charles Booth wanted to disprove socialist claims that one-fourth of Londoners were impoverished. Although he first assumed this was overstated, his 17-volume study eventually showed that the real number was far higher: one-third.

This is further explained below.

<h3>What are politicians?</h3>

Generally, A person who is involved in party politics or who either has or seeks to occupy an elected post in the government is referred to as a politician. Laws that govern the country and, by extension, its inhabitants are proposed, supported, and rejected by politicians, who themselves establish these laws. To use a general definition, a politician is somebody who aspires to hold influential political positions inside a government.

In conclusion, Shipowner Charles Booth set out to disprove the socialists' claims that one-fourth of London's residents were living in poverty. He believed that this was overstated, but the results of his investigation, which were published in 17 volumes, showed that the actual amount was considerably higher, at one-third.
