Democracy (proportional representation) is good

Democracy is good because people want to be free... the problem with fptp (a lack of democracy) is that it gets in the way of what people want... which is to be free. There is nothing wrong with democracy in and of itself and in the context of a government. The only important alternative to democracy is anarchy but the problem with having no government at all is that we have no means to apprehend criminals. Anarchy is lawlessness so this is not a valid consideration. We cannot have anarchy and so then we can only have democracy... (as no other form of government is viable) so democracy is good and we must do everything we can to enhance its reach. Only democracy is an option and (within the context of government) it is good. Wherever there is a government we must strive to maximise democracy. Proportional representation is preferable to fptp because it is more democratic and (if there is a government) that is a good thing.
