If there is enough land then everyone has a right to at least some of it sufficient that they are able to sustain themselves

First past the post is a left-wing voting system
It is not only the intentions of voters which determines the outcome of an election. Assuming the votes are counted fairly and are not manipulated outright, there are other means by which the result can be skewed. If there is not proportional representation this tends to skew the results towards the political left. If we assume the 'left' favours the collective whereas the right favours the individual we can quickly see how fptp hinders the right. Minorities are well catered for in the proportional representation style of election. A person belonging to a minority which they want to support is able to vote for and receive representation. Pr is good for minorities. Something which is good for minorities is also good for the individual (since the individual is a minority) and so pr is good for the right. Something which is good for the right is not good for the left and so pr is not good for the left. First past the post is good for the left.
