Technically, it was never meant to be a democracy, but a constitutionally federated republic. But I get your meaning - the "two party system" which was never codified into law but is still the de facto status quo prevents representation on a lot of issues.
And the voting system is virtually destroyed once we don't check identification to actually verify that everyone gets one (and only one) vote.
