We don't know any of the players intimately enough to be able to fully predict what might happen. I'm sure there's probably a number of small, subtle moves we could make to put our thumb on the scale and tip things in a new direction, but I don't think I could even begin to tell you what they are.

[ Which leaves them acting as a blunt instrument, rather than a scalpel. Scott doesn't feel very comfortable about that right now. ]

How much do you think the upper class outside of the prime minister's inner circle are really benefiting from this? If he's holding their livelihoods ransom or blackmailing them, they might be open to turning on him at the first sign of blood in the water.
