My suggestion is that "the left" needs to establish a few websites, blasting
the major parties for the errors in their ways and proposing remedies, along
the lines several campaigners from "the right" have done. One I have been
associated with may not be the biggest nor best, but there is enough
material there to keep you thinking for a week. It's at: http://tonypitt.net/
(and I don't necessarily agree with much of it).
Can anyone suggest some equivalents from "the left"?
