How are people from a single town supposed take over the government? Local governments very often have very limited tools to influence the economy of their town. Roads, railways, airports, energy lines, water treatment plants and many more are managed by national governments. They decide where infrastructure will be expanded and what type of economy will be able to expand in where. Most of the country doesn't care that some town are overrun by tourist and it doesn't impact national elections. At some point the only thing the town can do is to start discouraging tourists from coming like some towns in Italy do.
