Well no, it has never been one person, one vote. Even in the Greek city states it was restricted to a tiny number of aristocrats and men of property and there were no votes for slaves, or, thankfully, women. If it was "one person, one vote regardless of background or education" it would be disastrous as we'd get results like Brexit (and bring back hanging etc). So we have always had representative democracy whereby MPs vote not just to represent their constituents but also for what they deem sensible, which is often very different and much more progressive. People laugh at MPs but I'd rather be ruled by them than the people of Stoke.

Is that bigoted enough? I could say more if necessary. ;)
