Preferred term

political elites  

Definition

  • POWER CANNOT BE evenly distributed in any but the smallest of political societies. This uneven distribution leads to the creation of elites, or relatively small groups of people who have a disproportionate level of influence and power over political outcomes. [Source: Encyclopedia of U.S. Campaigns, Elections, and Electoral Behavior; Political Elites]
