Since when do decisions in a parliamentary democracy get made by riot?

Poll Tax?

Yes, I'm aware of that one, but was in a simular situation of a government official saying "oh we have to cancel the poll tax cos riots" before it went through?

I understood it was already very unpopular before it passed the vote in Parliament, whereas Brexit has more support, sorta...

It was also an English/Welsh issue, not affecting Scotland/NI due to different laws here.

A comparison of poll tax and failed/flawed brexit project is pretty pointless apart from perhaps a parallel of realised and potential civil unrest, politically and moralistically speaking.

Errrr. Poll tax was introduced in Scotland in '89, England and Wales '90.
