Good question. I suppose the Glorious Revolution took some of the pressure off for a while. The French Revolution certainly seems to have scared Brits like Burke. They get a mild Reform Act in 1832 and then a more complete one in 1868. Between those two events they get Disraeli and Victoria becomes Empress of India, so that might also be a distraction.
