Pr is good unless the people want more government

Since pr empowers the people we must ask... is this a good thing? If the people are collectivist or fascist then clearly the answer is 'no'. If, on the other hand, the people want less government than those who govern then pr is preferable. To be an advocate of fptp (and not be a socialist) is to make the claim that government under fptp restricts the desires of the people to have more government. People do not want more government and so this position (to be in favour of fptp) is inconsistent unless you are a socialist.
