In Europe, they call this a general strike, but it is so unknown here that it would be pointless to use the term in subject line.

We really don't even have to fill the streets, just simply stop participating for a day, maybe more.

2. They are just hiding from the vote. This way, Rs do not go on record for King George.

4. Can the vote be taken without them? And if so, when will it be done?

5. Agreed, it would send a stronger message than taking to the streets..
and very difficult for the "powers that be" to control. Basically you stage a total economic boycott, don't buy ANYTHING for a few days.
