Political elites shape public policy decisions through their access to resources, information, and influence. These individuals or groups, often positioned in powerful roles within government, the economy, or society, can prioritize specific interests and drive legislative agendas. Their networks enable them to lobby effectively, mobilize support for initiatives, and sway public opinion. Additionally, elite consensus can lead to the reinforcing of certain policies, potentially marginalizing alternative perspectives. This elite influence raises concerns about representation and accessibility in the policymaking process, as decisions may reflect the interests of a few rather than the broader populace.
