2/ The question was "Do you think protesting will have any impact on policy?" There's only one answer to that: No. Absent something like a general strike, even a protest 4x as big as yesterday's wouldn’t impact politicians' decision-making, especially those at the very top.
3/ We saw this in 2003 prior to the invasion of Iraq, when London witnessed a march that literally was 4x bigger than yesterday's, along with immense protests throughout the US (I attended one in Chicago).
