Given this is a discussion forum with global reach your suggestion on implementing change to global industrial policy via voting may or may not be viable (not everyone gets to vote, and most of the countries lack global impac. US is really unique along with few other countries being able to influence global industry trends).

Good point, but I don't think it changes the validity of encouraging participation in democratic process where possible. Perfect is the enemy of good.
