People know that Tony Blair is stepping down this year so they know that somebody will take over from him and will surely be a better Prime Minister than him. People are up in arms that there could be a Scottish Prime Minister but whether it's Gordon Brown or David Cameron of the Conservatives, people are just glad to see the back of Tony Blair. No Blair means better government.

Yes - as some answers say above, we are a democratic nation and rioting seldom solves anything. The only riots that I remember having a positive effect were the Poll Tax riots.
Also, I tend to think that most people don't particularly favour the alternative. A case of "better the devil you know" perhaps.

There are no protests in this country because the unions used to organise them and they have sold the workers out, the last riots or protests I remember was with the miners and look what happened there.

Many reasons -- most of us are too complacent because things aren't really as bad as they could be. The day we lose tons of money and our cars and cellphones I'm sure everyone is going to flip out. In the meantime, the government is working hard to kill the middle-class but I guess it's been harder than anticipated. They better not push it or there will be full-out mutiny around here. I've always said that the one group you never want to p1ss off is AMERICANS. When we get mad, we kick butt!!!

Because it is generally doing a good job and people are content. If you don't agree - the ballot box awaits.
Anyone who thinks rioting to overthrow a democratically elected government is acceptable is a moron.

Because that would be an unjust revolt against a justly elected government of a sovereign Democratic Republic nation. If you have a problem in our society you go to the voting booth. It is what thinking people do.
Why is it that the Left is so filled with hatred and anger? Why don't you channel yourself into something more productive to society?

because we are brain dead moronic citizens of the dis-united kingdom with a government in disarray and denial, a frustrated people waiting for a figure to come along and put our country in order, hopefully starting with this present mistake for a government, then the thuggish police who think they are above the law, our judicial system, immigration controls and bailiffs. could the antichrist be here already.

Don't know but it wont be too long before there is people of Britain are getting fed up of being treated like SH.IT and sooner or later are not going to stand for it
And as we can't all afford to buy houses in France and commute we will have to take a stand for the sake of the country and it's inhabitants!

If you mean in the UK, its because we are more or less a nation of non-complainers who have been taught to accept their place in the queue and that it is bad to grumble or step out of line. Sad, but true.
I'll be honest tho, even if there WAS a riot and they successfully got the government out, the next one would honestly be no better.. especially if it was the Tories. Trust me.

riots in the past have come from people who are severly treated while they are being destroyed. in britain they keep you comfortable while they destroyyour country.
