Yes - particular moral axioms are by definition not accepted by everyone. That is the trick; convincing people to adjust/change their values (moral axioms) and then derive different beliefs/actions from them.
The reason that is a tough sell in this case is because it very quickly can come across as declaring a class of people as superior to another class of people. "One person one vote" might lead to certain negative side effects, but the side effects of an alternative can be much worse.

What I'm saying is that if you can make compelling economic arguments for why a different system would be better, most people will not stick to their "moral axioms" if they buy the arguments. > "One person one vote" might lead to certain negative side effects, but the side effects of an alternative can be much worse. That's an economic claim, and is precisely what I challenge.
