My personal theory regarding this is that the vulcans were heavily “nationbuilding” (e. g. helping politicans with desirable views and disappearing others) in the background while simultaneously doing massive propaganda. Also… at least some vulcans can use telepathy… can anybody be sure they are not mind controlling relevant figures?
And don’t forget that the federation is ruled by something that is basically a military dictatorship with a friendly face… I mean, when were the last public elections?
And last but not least… who is controlling section 31?

The president of the UFP is an elected position
At least this is what they want you to believe…
