I would say that FPTP is "less democratic" than other (better) voting systems. I agree with you with respect to the PC leadership race though: we elected the PCs, and they are free to choose whoever they like as their leader.
Perhaps you could argue that the PC leadership race is a form of representative democracy and is thus "less democratic" than direct democracy (for the PC leadership race), but it's not a particularly significant gap IMO.
