Representation can be given to multiple candidates

With fptp the least small group wins and takes all of the representation... this is a problem (and unnecessary) because there is no reason to give all the power to a single group it can be shared between individuals.

First past the post makes the assumption that it's fine to allocate all the power to the single party which places first in an election. It assumes that giving no power to the other minority candidates will work as a democratic system.
