DBWI: Was British involvement in the Second War of the Spanish Succession justified?

Even today it's a subject of hot debate. Some people say Britain's involvement in both Wars of the Spanish Succession was justified but others say that is only the case in the first, while still more say only the second was justified. So what are people's views here?

((Based on this poll where KyleB has ended up with two Wars of the Spanish Succession by accident, and where quite a few people have voted for one but not the other.))
 
Considering that the Carlists the British were fighting stood a reasonable chance of taking power and imposing a repressive absolutist monarchy on Spain, I'd say the British intervention was justified.
