One must ask oneself; “Do normal political methods still apply?”
Did you ever see "Rollerball?" The original, with James Caan, not that unwatchable remake piece of trash?
There's a moment in the movie where the hero (Caan) is told that what he's doing is against the rules. He explodes and yells, "Don't you get it? There are no rules."
This situation, and your comment, reminds me of that scene.
