15 hrs confidence:
this mass movement Explanation: Coming to this rather late, but I think you could use this expression here. It uses mass adjectivally and movement as the noun, which departs from the original construction but is a standard term in English for this meaning in politics. "Mass movement refers to the political concept of a political party or movement which is supported by large segments of a population." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_movement "We could never call on a mass movement to support us in getting health care reform, because who can really get excited over a PO that won’t produce universal coverage?" http://kmci.org/alllifeisproblemsolving/archives/strategy-ta... "Stop the War: The Story of Britain’s Biggest Mass Movement. Their book tells a story about a 'remarkable mass movement' which the authors hope 'can change the face of politics for a generation." http://www.dissentmagazine.org/democratiya/article_pdfs/d2Mu... |
