Is it, though? Brexit was pretty heavily favored by financial elites who stood to gain by pillaging the country for the sake of next quarter's profits (metaphorically speaking). Not to mention the numerous issues around the Brexit vote (not that it wasn't democratic, mind, but Jesus Christ what a shitshow). It's not enough to just say that a given measure is restoring power to the people.
I'm not saying "The people don't make mistakes!", I note in the comment that a successful, quick, and correctly justified overthrow would be necessary for me not to shed any tears. As I also note, this is by no means guaranteed by upheaval, which is why I don't actually advocate for it. Yet. Things would have to be worse to justify such a massive gamble.
