"Since when do decisions in a parliamentary democracy get made by riot?"
It seems you meant to include "threat" on the end.
The current situation is unprecedented in all sorts of ways.

Problem is though that when it is pointed out that a hard border increases the risk of terrorism (see Irish police, NI police, and lots of other experts....) the reaction is BUT WE DONT BOW TO TERRORISTS THREATS
So maybe it is not completely unreasonable to factor in rioting (though, a messy brexit will also increase the risk and I think even more than any orderly Brexit or Remain) as a risk approach?
Of course risks have to be viewed from all angles...oh wait this is Brexit, silly me, let me pick up a brick.

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?"?
