> Patients shall not vote for hospital's rules and medical procedures or staff election. Qualified well-educated doctors should.

Bad analogy. The goal of democracy is not to generate the best possible results for the country. If that happens then its the side effect. Democracy stands on the principle of "all citizens have equal rights".

Equal rights are the must. Not a single objection to that. It is a cornerstone of civilized society. The final decisions however shall not be taken by a snap voting of "mere plebs".
