what is political equality
1 Political equality is when everybodyâs preferences are equally weighted in political decisions. The definition of âeverybodyâ matters, of course: Everybody could mean all citizens, or it could mean all who are potentially impacted by the decision.  Political inequality is the existence of authority divisions. Here, we speak of political inequality when groups have unequal political input into the decisions that affect them. The more layers of authority between the citizen and the decision, the greater the political inequality.
