That certainly the goal, but I think the question being asked is whether these rule changes are sufficient to achieve it.

I do feel like that make a good point about voting power. If I own a stock, and it can go up 5% now, is the promise of additional voting power later on a valuable enough thing to make me not care about that 5%? It's possible I'm in it for the long term growth, so maybe I don't care about the 5%, but the voting power isn't the reason.

Exactly. To make it a long term stock market there needs to be some incentives that make it so and imo the ones stated don't seem enough to deter short term thinking. Maybe there are some other rules that aren't listed in the article.
Stay tuned
