Given the apathy many players show toward getting involved in the politics of 
the realm, then such a default would almost certainly mean that any ruler using 
this option would be removed from power.

Consequences of a player's actions should be based on the *actions* of the ther 
players, not their *inaction*. If the stripped noble feels that their cause is 
worthy, then they should try to raise support from the rest of the nobles of the 
realm. If they can't, then perhaps their cause isn't as worthy as they seem to 
believe.
