Well, back in the 50s and 60s when a lot of working class people came back from WWII with military training, the elites did relax their choke-hold on power and the system did work much more as a Democracy, which is why things like Social Security, the National Health Service and most Public Housing in Britain date back to that era, but most of it has been walked back since and the present day Labour Party is a perfect example of how the era of electable politicians who actually represent most people is over.
Even with the growth of the Greenparty (disclamer: I was a member of that Party for a while when I lived in Britain) who are a mix of Ecologist and Social-Democrat (after all, consumer society and unfettered capitalism are incompatible with Ecology), the entire voting system is set-up to stop them getting a parliamentary representation matching their fraction of the vote (by quite a lot, even - for most of its life the party generally got 5% of the votes which that system translated to only 0.3% of parliamentary seats), the entire Press is set up to push them back (by relentlessly slandering their leaderes, the very opposite of what they do to the leaders of the far-right such as Reform UK) and there’s a long tradition of the police being caught having Ecologist movements and even elected Greenparty members under surveillance.
So yeah, the system will collapse due to its own weight (there’s only so far that debt-fueled rent-seeking can go before it collapses if the Homeland doesn’t have a lot of external territories - i.e. and Empire - to pillage to make up for producing less than it consumes) long before the power and money elites there ever concede the slightest drop of power or accept the tiniest slowing in the growth of their wealth - there is no prospect of the condition of post-War Britain with a strong united Working Class repeating.
One doesn’t even need to be a Socialist to see how Britain, even by Capitalist criteria, is neither stable nor politically or socially capable of resolving its instability in a fair way that minimizes pain for the many, so the likely futures are either collapse or increasing Authoritarianism with the country eventually morphing into a Fascist Dictatorship and, given that the elites would lose a lot in the former and much less in the latter, plus have a long tradition of belief in their inherent superiority and actually liking Fascism (there are pictures of back before Hitler invaded Germany, were the King was teaching his niece - Princess Elizabeth, later Queen Elizabeth - to do a NAZI salute) plus last but not least the actual trend at many levels, from Press independence to Surveillance and political repression, the latter seems much more likely than the former.

You can’t vote them away. That’s it really.
