How about: different parties coming up with alternative
plans for the level and composition of investment and
public expenditure, and then having a national vote
on it.  Also, in the process of formulating these
alternative plans, a broad process of consultation,
public hearings, and input from workers' and consumers'
councils and their democratically elected delegates.
