There are many possible ways for the individual members to decide to vote, in the end it ends with one person one vote.

Otherwise the tools we have available are extremely powerful especially when fed good data that is freely available, which is what would be possible if you achieved the (perhaps impossible task) of switching most of the economy to worker coops.

Do you see tyranny-of-the-majority and factional-rule as evils to be mitigated, or as desirable reflections-of-worker-cooperator-sentiment, regardless of consequences?

You can always change workplaces. Yes they are evils to be mitigated, but workplaces are not countries, you can leave and create them quite easily especially when you're entitled to part of the capital of your workplace.

I don't think it is impossible to shift the labour-intensive, non-capital-intensive part of the economy (which is quite a lot) to worker coops. They should be more attractive to both employees and customers than sad outfits with private equity vampire squids wrapped around them.
