Well if you're a French socialist the answer is simple. Let the people know just what you think of them expressing their democratic will.

When it comes to expressing dissatisfaction with a government with 55% of first past the post seats derived from only 35% of the popular vote, the normally phlegmatic British can't even reach a state of frenzied apathy. We just don't cut it in comparison with the French, do we?
I hope to see more of this here as the means for democractically expressed disatisfaction are removed. If Brown offers the Libs PR I predict a riot ...even if its a one man riot
I guess that goes along with the "what do you do when the Government bans your favourite hobby - fox hunting with hounds?" question. Which in this country is get irate, go on a march, break into Parliament, scream/shout/strike policemen on a barridade and then write to the Times because said policeman didn't take kindly to being hit by some toff and decided to batter said toff's head in...
Why on earth do you think the rioters are "left wing"? Perhaps some are, perhaps not. Likely that quite a lot are "right wing". Disaffected people with no wings at all.
Chris., we know the rioter are left wing. There are pictures of them waving socialist banners in some of the papers. It's fair to say they could be right wing, but they're not.

I would denouce these left-wing thugs as behaving like children having a temper tantrum, but I realise that to do so would be to insult children.

To which a lot of people laughed uproariously...

ACtually, forgot to mention "bare one's buttocks" amongst the acceptable forms of protest: no harm done and smiles all round.
