Yes to both questions. The existing of a class war is undeniable, the most obvious manifestation is that one group in society has caused the banking crisis, the sovereign debt crisis and the Euro crisis whilst another group is forced to suffer for the selfishness and corruption of the other, and is routinely vilified in the press and discriminated against in wider society (to a far larger extent that ethnic minorities, Muslims, Jews, homosexuals and women).
The problem with a new party is that discrimination has thus far, very deliberately, been aimed at a minority that on their own could not give a party that represents them a majority. That's why they can be bullied. The traditional middle classes have always been weasely, frightened, petty snobs who can easily be manipulated into looking down on others and calling them lazy, etc. The reality has always been somewhat different - as you have already found - the middle classes get jobs that pay more, they work less and get more perks.
