issues are voted on in the blockchain so that power stays with the users' to direct development (not outside parties)

To express it like that is to risk misleading people.

The notion of “voting” on issues was discussed on the CLAMS thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623147.msg13349322#msg13349322

To express that we're risking misleading people is itself misleading.  PoS votes in the Decred lottery system can be used to vote for or against a new consensus rule, which allows stakeholders to vote on issues on-chain.  Note that it was not claimed that this allows voting on all issues, but changes reflected in consensus code can be voted on.
