There are certainly passages in his writings that seem to suggest that 
Cromwell was searching for a more equitable solution to the problems of 
governing England.

And at one point seems to be reaching for a written constitution of some 
sort.

"In every government there must be somewhat fundamental, somewhat like a 
magna charta, that should be standing and unalterable"

And of course,  his words against the perpetuation of power are famous:

"That parliaments should not make themselves perpetual is a fundamental."

And he certainly seems to have regretted some of his actions.  He asked
his 
chaplain:

'If a man finds redemption then is it possible for him to loose it?'

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time,  like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
