I don't remember where you said that the neop-liberal onslaught has killed every organized interest and every organized discussion. And that – or do I extrapolate? – politicians can't for that reason act as representatives as they could when there organized interests, but have to be mere mercenaries and media mouthpieces.

I find it strange that you nevertheless can believe that party politicians from the left can do anything to get back any representativity and accountability to the system. It must be like lifting oneself by the hair. At least if they try to do it as party politicians.
As I see it, the organized interests must first be recreated, as interests. And I believe that being too tied to traditional political solutions and traditional political identities then is a disadvantage. Ideologies and political practices will have to build up from below – otherwise they will seem like making use of the interest as hostages.
