It's not how our democracy works though.
The Thatcher government had virtually a war with the mining communities, her poll tax period too was crippling and caused massive hardship and deep worry for families.
With rioting, which like last years should be termed serious crimes, no way should criminal dissent or riots bring down the the democratic process.
ANY government giving in to that would be setting a frightening and extremely dangerous precedent for the future of governance by any Parties in the UK.
I can't see that happening myself.
We're still not and never should be a Nation where the more extreme try to bring about mob rule.
