only by drawing up a firm coalition of like-minded, at least somewhat socialistic parties that their initiative will have any chance of breaching the FPTP democracy/equality/glasnost-prevention barrier in Paedominster - which is still the over-ruling seat of power in the ukstate.
Do a deal with the nationalists, including Sinn Fein, and even any of the Ulster unionists who can be persuaded to see that it will be best for the bulk of their working-class constituents: We will help decisively to further your aims if you help us set up a thorough-going social-democracy in England, and entrench it strongly, so that the rajistas will never be able to reverse our changes. Tony Benn's great ambition...
That's not likely to happen, of course, without some revolutionary forcing. But since there are bad times ahead, which will be made worse for the bulk of us by the policies of the rajista-serving official tories, the pressure for that will be building up nicely during Johnson's usurpation. It will require both canny politics, and seriously gic-frightening street action.
