In 1830-32 when a majority of the Tories tried to block reform Britain seems to have come quite close to civil war. The Tories backed the continuation of **privilege** and weren't particularly bothered about its abuse.
The demands for reform were wide-ranging but came to crystallize round the issue of the reform of the House of Commons - abolishing 'rotten boroughs' (many of which had fewer than 50 voters) and extending the franchise. The House of Commons voted in favour of reform, but the Tory majority in the (unelected) House of Lords rejected it it - which provoked a crisis. In the Midlands some manufacturers provided their able-bodied adult male workers with firearms and started to give them military training! They sent threatening messages to London. All this was of course completely illegal, but the government felt powerless.
Ultimately, the crisis was resolved when King William IV accepted the advice of Earl Grey, which was to create enough Whig (liberal ) lords to swamp the Tory majority in the House of Lords.
Relations between the new middle class and the traditional, mainly landowning, �lites remained difficult throughout the period c. 1830-1846, when Liberalism triumphed in Britain.
