opposed the protectorate- too much power to one person, wanted to limit the influence of the army and create a one chamber parliament

protectorate to continue- Lambert re-entered parliament as an MP in 1659 remained quite influential- had links with Vane

in command of the Scottish NMA- had them at his disposal, made links with Charles Stuart because he was concerned at the breakdown of order, wanted stability

their concerns to be heard, presented by Lilburne (leader) to RC- concerns included arrears and the interests of the army grandees surrounding control of the army

RC's protectorate seemed viable- had no influence
