Was the UK civil wars of the 17th century really that great in comparison to the French chaos of the 18th century?

I ask for both of them were bloody and fought over silly things and went way too far. For example Ireland lost over 40% of its population due to the various conflicts over a period of two decades.

Note I am not picking sides and saying one side was great and one side was complete assholes. Nor am I saying the french situation is better than the UK situation or vice versa.

But what they did do was start the process of the UK having its modern parliamentary system, and the French their own form of representative goverment / democracy in the long run.

Do note I do not claim to be an expert of this era compared to some people. Legolas and you probably know far more about the history of this era than me.
