Oh you seem to misunderstand. They are all clamoring for a seat at the table. It is easy to buy seats from one side of the political sphere. They do not understand that they will be kicked to the ground, once they get what they need.
I think they may be far-gone in the sense that they themselves don't really believe they got a chance at the seat. Similar to how the communists are unhappy because despite everything, including personal fortunes and successes, deep down a communist believer sees himself as incomplete, insufficient, uncommitted. He may make some money, acquire influence, respect of his peers, perhaps even his bosses—and yet, he would in his own eyes remain a proletariat still, self-despised for allowing himself to be exploited so.
Had they truly believed they were not impotent, they wouldn't obsess over business-men.
