I believe my choices as a consumer give me more power than my vote. I remember when recycled paper and other ecologically kinder products were fringe tastes and now they and organic food are in every supermarket ( I know this somewhat defeats the object but I will save my standard tree hugging rant about food miles for another occasion) but the supermarkets are clearly responding to demand. The reason we don't have GMO here is not down to the government (who would like to yield to US pressure to relax the definitions) but due to consumers not wanting it.

So I for one, am not going to give in... and passively accept my fate...
