What can you call someone who does not have a say in choices that completely affect him? [closed]

Something to call someone who doesn't have a say in the choices that affect him the most?

Think 'a major stakeholder who has no voting rights,' ha!

Solution 1:

I would say powerless. This can relate to both single or ongoing situations.

A child is powerless if parents decide to get move house/send him to a different school/ get divorced (depending on the style of parenting of course).

People are powerless in the face of governments which take no regard for their needs or views and impose unwanted regulations.

Depending on the situation you could say someone was at the mercy of, or subject to the whim of.

Solution 2:

You could say they are hamstrung by not having their say - meaning feeling disabled or crippled (and thus being affected by this restriction).
