Labour can only be defeated by proportional rep.

First past the post tends towards a one-party totalitarian system... not a two-party system as is commonly believed. The reason for this is that, whilst communism and totalitarianism are illogical, in all other respects it is logical and consistent to vote for the centre-left party in a fptp system. It is not logical to vote for the centre-right party in a fptp system because if we favour a small state we would also favour choice. It is inconsistent to be in favour of liberalism (and even Capitalism) and to be against proportional representation. People will not vote for a party which is illogical where logic is expected of them... they will not vote for a party which encourages choice for the rest of society but none for itself. At least communists protect everyone from the market not just themselves. Voters cannot vote for the centre-right party in a fptp system for these reasons which means it reduces to a single-party system... fptp reduces to totalitarianism. Because the dominant party on the right supports fptp this means it will reduce to totalitarianism (on the left). It would be good for the cause of freedom if those in control of the Tory party came to this realisation... or people would vote for someone else.
