The UK does not do Revolution; whenever crisis arises the Monarch/Executive sells minor changes as the resolution to the problem, if that does not work they spin the fear of change as another answer. Some minor asides, these tactics have worked since the Union has begun, this is the first time it has seemingly failed in over three hundred years. There maybe interesting times ahead...
