0 not having been voted into a particular important job or position:
unelected bureaucrats
And it extends a well-recognized debate over how (and how carefully) elected politicians delegate authority to unelected bureaucrats.
Presumably, decentralised constituencies will vote for representatives who will represent their interests to the central government better than the unelected civil servants of the past.
Finally, our data show that unelected peers are over-represented at lower levels of government in comparison to higher posts.
At the same time, however, the judiciary is expected to perform these functions in accordance with the views of the unelected head.
In these countries, sovereignty is divided between elected executives and unelected ones who act as guardians of the regime.
Surprisingly, however, the failure of the courts to produce popularly acceptable decisions contributes to the continued division of sovereignty between elected and unelected institutions.
The unelected head, despite its privileged position, cannot ignore the results of elections or the powers of the elected head.
On balance, we find that unelected peers are as durable as any other ministers in our sample.
