Ever heard about the French Revolution?

In the short run they got Robespierre. However, in the long run things certainly got better. In the meantime the UK still has a queen and the House of Lords. So maybe having Robespierre was worth it.
England also have a revolution few years before the French one, only that it was much less bloody and radical.
