First past the post doesn't give people a voice

First past the post is not a real democracy in the sense that it doesn't give to the people a full expression of their desires... the power is retained and controlled by the governing parties. This leads to a disenfranchisement between the electorate and their government. We might not think this is a serious issue but it is. Not because it means the public will get poor public services (most, if not all, essential services such as food and water are provided by the private sector) but instead because it removes the public from the law. The public need to be closely aligned with their government for the expression of law-and-order in their communities. If there is not full democracy this means that security is provided by a distant and unaccountable government... which means it is not adequately provided. For these reasons proportional representation is preferable to fptp. Pr closes the gap between the government and the people which improves security for the people.
