No really, becuase none of those figureheads can actually order the people to do anything. If the Thain says, "Eat your veggies," the people can chose to ignore him and eat their sweets instead. The same for the Mayer and Master. That's what makes them more Tribal. However, if Elrond says, "Eat your veggies," you know the other elves are going to bend over backword to do so.
