AH Challenge: Have the Levellers securely in control of England

Hey Guys,

The Challenge is what it says on the package really, I'm simply asking you to somehow have the Levellers in secure control of England.

How could this be done? The POD must be at least after the end of the Second English Civil War, other than that it's up to you :)

Have Cromwell die off early, leaving the Puritans without an effective military leader. Then, the Levellers move into the power vacuum, and send some puritans to the colonies. The levellers proceed to fight off the Monarchists, and bang. Leveller England.

That might work, but how long would a group of people who wanted to destroy everything last, even in merrie ol' England?

They didn't

What they wanted to establish was effectively a modern social democracy. all western democracies in existence today owe something to their ideas and principles
 
Who would this leader be? In OTL one of the highest ranking supporters of the Levellers cause was Thomas Rawton. If in a different TL Rawton wasn't killed by Royalists could he (after the death of Cromwell) have used his distinguished background of having captured 2 castles and leading 1500 musketeers at the Battle of Langport to secure his position as the nations ruler.

Would system would be set up? What would the head of state be and what would the politics be like?
