Perhaps the prevailing political parties will only get 85% of the vote next time.
I dunno. Theater is neat and all, their cause may be noble, but I never saw a lot of results from symbolism. Substance is what changes things.

One man's opinion: when a culture wants to change, it's not street performers or fringe complainers who grease the paradigm shift. It's the mass of the people. It's their collective will.
That being said, I'm sure the protests and street performers made some folks recall the heady days of the 60's when we took to the streets complaining about The Man, went home to a few bong hits, patchouli incense, "brownies" and cheap wine, and told each other how we were changing the world. Now we ARE The Man, and the youngsters are complaining about US. Yet another of Life's Cycles...
