Actually they didn't want the benefits - the benefit was liberty, and they wanted a ruler. Perhaps you could relate them to the Tories of revolutionary America. The colonies generally wanted liberty from England, and the Tories wanted English rule.
Then again, being a Tory, regardless of your behavior, was considered treason and punishable by death. The Lynch Mob - the ultimate demonstration of direct democracy
