Not necessarily.
When a player is elected as a leader, normally there is cooperation consensus. That is certainly my experience.
Of course you’ll get some trolls/lone wolves in any system but thats a different topic.
Again, it’s not a perfect solution, there isn’t one, but it’s credible and feasible and there’s no viable alternative I am aware of.
No matter how you look at it, electing an Officer is infinitely better than what we have now.
