I'm discounting that one yes. The powerful politicians that came out on top (all who were already upper class and power brokers beforehand), called it a revolution, but there was no class/societal upheaval, redistribution of wealth/land or anything else like happened in the many popular revolutions in Paris. It was just a change of government with some help from a foreign power at the end. A forced change of government or coup d'etat can alo be called a revolution, but it's pretty obvious that it's not the same thing as fe the 1789 revolution in Paris.

I'll refine my previous statement: what the UK needs is a good proper popular revolution.
