Fptp is no longer a viable option for the right

First past the post is no longer a viable strategy for the right. The reason for this is that fptp victories require collective voting for the main parties which is more difficult for the right. Voters on the right find it more difficult to align themselves with a single party whereas for the left this is not a problem because their political ideology requires it. Single-party (collective) voting is more difficult for the right which is why fptp favours the left. The best chance for the right in the future is a centre-right coalition under pr. The parties of the right will no longer win outright majorities due to the disintegration of a sense of duty in voting for the major centre-right party. The fall of religion means authoritarianism and allegiance to a single party are less prominent on the right which means pr is now the only chance for a right-wing government.
