Well, England has a Queen and a Prime Minister. Maybe Equestria is a constitutional monarchy with a president elected head of parliament to somehow check Celestia's power |

And that's how the tale about the "Mayor in the Moon" started. |

I still subscribe to the notion that the mayor is appointed by Celestia and may just be a ceremonial or mostly-ceremonial post. Certainly she's not a politician. |

@bersl2 that would make her a governor-general 8) |

The mayor gets pushed to the side fairly easily by Twilight, Celestia's personal representative, so I think she's appointed rather than elected. |

Ponyville seems like the kind of small town where they constantly elect the same mayor all the time.
Twilight is the royal appointee in the town. |

I haven't seen any sign of a democratic process in the show, so I'd guess the mayor is an appointed civil servant, who knows enough to let her Princess' favorite student have her way. |
