• 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.

  • OK I got that wrong then.
    They don't exist in NI.

    But as others said, it is not a good comparison for other reasons, it was reaction to somebody on my post who replied "poll tax riots" to my question "Since when do decisions in a parliamentary democracy get made by riot?"?
