Mining pools, exchanges and processors have no direct say. All that is needed for the BIP to be merged is agreement among the lead developers. That would be Van der Laan, Gavin Andresen, Jeff Garzik, Gregory Maxwell and Pieter Wuille. Correct me if I missed a name or am in error.

Miners have most of the power. 

No.

We do. (assuming you hold any bitcoins)

what if all the miners agree to leave the bitcoin mining scene, does we can save it by simply holding our coins? i don't think so

i could agree that also merchants matter, but i can't see how a simple holder waiting for dumping his stash could matter here
