Why? Who cares? If you polled 100 Joes on the street, I'd bet less than 20% have even HEARD of MENSA. From what I can tell, it doesn't do politics at all outside its interest groups. It doesn't lobby. It's a private group, like thousands of others. MENSA's influence seems minimal, at best.
You're also grossly mistaken about MENSA requiring "a certain exclusive exam" - they'll take the results of dozens of different tests, given by dozens of different organizations. Sure, it's "exclusive", just like any group with membership requirements. If you don't like it, don't join. Not sure who they're hurting here...
