Something like this happened in my school. We had surplus budget so we all got to write in suggestions on how to use it and vote on them. EVERYONE wanted the skatepark to be upgraded, like across social groups and ages, we all loved the skate park even though it was a shitty little corner of the parking lot with a tiny ramp and concrete blocks. We just wanted like, one ramp and a grind bar.

When it came time to vote, a lot of the suggestions were obviously not from students and skate park upgrades weren't on the list, so we conspired and wrote it in as an extra option anyway.

Guess what won? Fancy new concrete garbage cans. We broke them out of spite.

Good on y'all. It's preferable to have no democracy than to have no democracy plus a false front that there is one.
