"I think that deep down many people often believe that they could have a say in policy if only they tried hard enough…" Really? I don't know anyone that thinks that. Everyone I know think, "I'm not a billionaire, so of course there is nothing I can do." "It's similar to how people are led to believe anyone could have a billion dollars if only they were smarter and/or worked harder." Ha ha, well there you are. I also know no one that believes that either. But of course if someone believes the latter, the former follows. ;-)
