There's too much corporate money behind this for it to die...it'll be back...again and again if need be.

You're probably right, but don't forget this is something happening at a much larger scale. It involves multiple nations, each with their own complexities of politics and social expectations. Herding cats would be easier than trying to wrangle all of these players - not all of which are as inundated and corrupted as American politics with corporate influence.

Not to say they can't and won't try again, but at least it's hard for the bastards.
