Ross correct me if I am wrong.My understanding was individual shareholders voted against and the institutions voted for!

No - Many UK institutions voted against but overseas institutional and individual shareholders voted for. Perhaps from a distance and not caught up in a witch-hunt they had a clearer perspective specially as Barclays are one of the better run banks - mind you that is only relative to other banks.
Regardless of that, I fully approve of shareholders holding the executive to account and any exercise in shareholder opinion is good and would fully support strengthening their powers.

First snipet of the `Rich List`Wealth sqeeze for couple who think nothing of spending £ 6 million on a birthday party.
Sir Phillip Green has lost £ 1 Billion from an estimated worth in the `Rich List`
Sunday Times `Rich List`says his fortune has reduced from £ 4.2 billion to £ 3.3 billion.......hard times ahead!

I wonder what powers you suggest shareholders could have

The ones they already have is a good place to start.

shareholders have a very small say

I am beginning to despair of any genuinely knowledgeable contributions. Speculation is useful, bit not when it is presented as absolute fact.

but i'm trying to be polite

Pseudo, or gobbledegook, are terms used when people don't understand something. No shame in not understanding something, just ask or learn. But there is shame in rubbishing something just because it is not on your radar.
