English term or phrase: not just one option
Greetings,

After thinking about this from some time, I think we really have to take ‘not just one option amongst many’ as a single item as it's really being contrasted with a single, common sense option.

The sentence:
For a Welshman, socialism is not just one option amongst many, it's common sense!

The author is presumably saying that the people of Wales have suffered so much injustice that there can be only one solution: (democratic, egalitarian) socialism.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon

It probably means that there aren't other reasonable options besides Socialism. It's the only reasonable way, it's common sense.

Actually, the other options should be reasonable, too. However, this is not a hard choice for them.

tercihe bağlı olmamak


Explanation:
Bir çok seçenek içerisinden seçilebilir, tercihe bağlı bir seçenek değil.
Yani tek gerçek seçenek.

The author wants to say that it is not an option but it is a FACT.

There are many options and socialism is one of them; but for a Welshman it's not simply just an option, it is (by historical reasons, perhaps) a common sense (the obvious choice)...
