But a lot of other weird things would surely have taken place in the traditional system. constant repolling, arguing over minor points all the time, a biassed court and so on.
Also, these players are at full liberty to vote for the new prime factions, or make their own. Their contribution to the game would not come from seeking to undo this rebellion, but to build anew, to join some of the factions running for prime factions and develop these faction platforms. Undoing the rebellion would only delay this even more, and at least kill my interest for this, possibly others as well.
