It would be interesting to know whether people living in a country with a broken political system, for example one characterized by oligarchy[1] and two eternal parties[2], are more likely to feel that it's the duty of employer to carry their political placard.
I definitely think companies have a moral duty to spend their efforts on good things, and there are many examples of deeply immoral companies.
But any society will also have political questions where people disagree, without there being a strong good/evil aspect to it. For example 'should the tax rate be 25%' or 'how should we organize our healthy system for the lowest cost / GDP'?
Forcing every company to debate these questions internally, and kicking customers off their product for violations, seems like an inefficient system.
But I think employee demand for such things will be higher in countries where they don't feel represented via the political system.
