(Posted this elsewhere) What I think you all need:

1. A manifesto with surgically specific changes you want done that will be guaranteed to permanently fix things (so healthcare reform along with a pre-prepared legal framework etc.). With as broad concensus as possible (so eg. with unions on board probably). By doing the legislation design by itself and handing the politicians a finished bill to sign, the strike movement will minimize the opportunities that they have to water it down.

2. A general strike to force whichever party is currently in power to implement that manifesto.

Pros:

• Still constitutinal. On paper it’s the politicians that opted for this and nobody forced their hand.
• A surgically specific manifesto will make it blatantly obvious whether your demands have been met or not – and hence whether the strike may cease. No space for watering down. This is why being specific is crucial.
