No... and the clue would apply to the person regardless of their palce in the list. Think of other meanings

Fordim? A possible stretch but he does have the majority of polls and he usually chooses the answer which conforms to the majority.

Again I Say think of other meanings............

Looking in the thesaurus, I find that 'majority' can also mean 'adulthood', 'manhood', 'womanhood' or 'seniority'. I never knew that. Is the clue to do with that?

Maybe we're looking for our oldest Downer?

Eomer ..that is the meaning I was thinking of....

but not the right conclusion

In the UK and many other countries, the legal age of majority is 18. So ...

You are getting warmer but the rest of the clue is not irrelevant..... I do try, but not always succeed, to follow the conventions.
