I think, in some ways, this whole affair has proven that whilst it may seem more straightforward to utilise the establishment right for reform, it's just too corrupt and scared of its own shadow. Trump tried it, but as you say, he was just one man. Boris Johnson hasn't even tried in the first place, thus I will never vote Tory again.
Grassroots seems to be the only way forward. Coming up from below is a hell of a lot harder, but your foundations are stronger. As well as public support, you've got your guys in positions of power behind you.
It's useful for causing chaos, but if you wish to effect real long term change you need to gain power. And it seems the only method of doing that is via grassroots.
And good luck protecting against entryism.
You'll have better luck doing that with a movement you built from the ground up. When you know what to look out for, and set the rules, it's harder for lefties to infiltrate than, say, an oblivious corporation or establishment party.
