If the council and not the people pick the major, would that not make the mayor selected and not elected?

"Representative government."

It works if the representatives truly represent their constituents rather than trick the voters into giving them entry into a special aristocratic class. Which, in my view is what happens much of the time all over this country.

Of course! The peasants have no right to elect the mayor. Communist to the bone, and Cambridge is supposed to be heavily populated by “intellectuals”. A real cesspool if ever there was one. Head choppers are soon to arrive!

Some mayors are just the equivalent of the person that just chairs a city commission meeting, picked from existing serving commissioners. They likely have a city manager that does the day-to-day stuff, and the mayor is just there to cut ribbons at most.
