    There was a time when King Charles tried to overturn parliament way back in the 1600s. I forget what happened next, but I’m pretty sure it was all very civil.

      Ahh yes but the second Charles was successful. Largely because Parliament was going after Catholics and people didn’t like living under an Inquisition. Then James fucked it all up and everyone decided just electing better leaders was the compromise.
