Megrats consider democracy to be elitist.
Members of Pop (Eton’s prefect society) are chosen by a vote, not a straight election.
Boys in the year below, teachers, housemasters, and current Pop members all vote for who they think should join. A committee (masters current Pop) then makes the final decision on the new members.
It’s a mix of popularity, staff input, and committee approval. Happens once a year for the senior year.
Talk about an elite class singling out students. Everyone should be allowed to do that, not just a certain group.
