What is "real" democracy? There are many forms today and going back to the first forms. 

So it’s not real democracy then… not a full one. Same problems that when you give more voting power to someone, who defines the criteria to have more power?

Why Does 1 Person = 1 Vote?

> In politics, why does every person get one vote in all elections?

Ideology. It's about as near to a religious belief as can be. 

It is not practical or rational. 

If you have lived long enough and met enough people you can see why we have the issues we have. Few are qualified to even be considered as a voter. 

Might I recommend [Democracy the God that Failed](https://mises.org/library/book/democracy-god-failed).

Anyone working in government has a conflict of interest as a voter. Same goes for any business regulated by the state. It's a mess or incentives. Even assuming people were hard to manipulate its just a disaster. The whole affair incentives demigogs that promise things they have no ability to deliver. They have no skin in the game. They are easily controlled by the wealthy and sly. It's a mess.
