It’s not just “these days”. Traditionally the British public will vote for an Etonian, to proportionate levels that make no logical sense other than that the British public believe Etonians to generally be worthy leaders of the nation.The x-factor generation, flashy advertisements, slogans, nicknames, a backstory and a bit of personality over actual talent goes a long with with huge swathes of the public these days sadly.
It’s a historic tradition and certainly not current/generational.
