I agree that actual democracy is important. However, most voting is barely democracy.

The end goal would be direct democracy, but in the mean time under representative democracy systems first past the post isn't a very good system for democracy, that honour really only falls to mixed member proportional respresentation (though any voting system is better than first past the post).
