First past the post is bad for voters

First past the post is the voting system which is best for politicians. It means they only have to get selected by their political party (one of the big two) to have a very strong chance of getting elected. With pr voters are able to reject politicians instead of the whips. If something is good for politicians it is bad (for freedom). If something is good for government (and politicians) then it is bad for the people... which are not the government. If something is bad for the voters in a democracy then it is bad. In a democracy the voters are the opposite of the government. Fptp is bad for voters so it is good for the government.
