But they are not elected, are they? So I don't think that's a very good example for this discussion.
Whether they are elected: They are not elected in universal suffrage elections, though they are chosen through a voting mechanism.
Assuming they are not elected, whether it is a good example: The comment to which I was responding used the term "public official" not "elected official." Second, all of the bullet points apply to unelected officials too. In the last bullet point, the constituents would be senior officials.
