There is nothing wrong with democracy

Proportional representation is better than fptp (direct democracy is better than presidential democracy) because it is easier to reject government proposals. With fptp we must accept the proposals of at least one of the major parties... as with a presidential (or mayoral) system. With pr we don't need to accept any of the mainstream proposals and our vote will still count... in effect we can vote for libertarians or geolibertarians and we will be able to force out conventional politicians. With fptp the conventional politicians keep getting elected. Being able to reject the least bad of two politicians is not as good as being able to reject all of them. With pr we can reject all politicians and all government... we can vote for a libertarian. There is nothing wrong with being able to vote for a libertarian... or anyone. There is nothing wrong with democracy.
