It seems that I fell for the myth of the riots. However, it is true that the Tories opposed the change bitterly, in part for sensible reasons (if done improperly, it would have caused a full rent to be payable for a 19-day month), and in part because it was a Whig proposal. Blind opposition because it was the other party's idea? We can all be glad that this no longer happens.
