It is almost impossible for elitists to be indifferent on any issue. There are two main types of elitists, one based on wealth, and one based on the electoral process. I would argue that they are basically the same thing. Pluralism is similar to Elitism. To me, Pluralism is a little community of elitists.
Pluralists believe that power is tied to the issues.
Individuals do control some issues though because issues do not always go through the people. Pluralism tends to be used in the large cities whereas elitism tends to be used in the smaller communities. Both are somewhat effective means of governance.
