The Interregnum, democracy in chaos...
A small historical debate is in order.
 The period of 1649 to 1660 was a chaotic one, Charles I had been beheaded, the great politician John Pym was dead and Oliver Cromwell was on the rise as Lord Protector. The Interregnum never really saw any stability, it was a time of religious radicalism and political upheaval, it would seem that England was not ready for democracy, or were there other factors at play that prevented a successful democratic state from being formed. Was this really the case though? Was democracy simply incomprehensible, a victim of the times?
