Ralph wants to clean himself up symbolically to regain a sense of order and control in the chaos of the island. It represents his desire to maintain his humanity, dignity, and leadership role amidst the boys' descent into savagery. Cleanliness also serves as a way for Ralph to distance himself from the primal instincts and barbarity that are emerging among the group.
He wishes to remind Jack and his tribe that they are really just English schoolboys and not a tribe of murderous savages.
Because he didnt want his cousins to get the motorcycle
No but, in chapter 8: Gift for the Darkness, Jack did ask the rest of the boys to put their hands up if they didn't want Ralph to be chief anymore. None of the boys raised their hands.
Ralph wanted Piggy, the twins and himself to tidy up and wear their clothes, hoping by doing so he could remind Jack and his tribe that they weren't really a tribe of savages at all but simply English schoolboys.
no he does not the other mean one does

Piggy used the word "democracy" to vote for Ralph, but he didn't truly want to because he preferred to support Jack.

It can clean you from everything if you want it to do so :-)
all i can find is that the main problem is that Ralph did not want anyone to share his bike. everyone called him selfish and that made Ralph think. i hope this is what your looking for.
