Fptp has failed the test of proportionality

First past the post has failed the test for a suitable voting system. We know that fptp systems tend to result in the emergence of just two (main) parties. This is not an acceptable format for choosing our representatives... we want a system which enables people to vote for who they like without the risk of their vote being ignored. We want a system which is amenable to everyone including minorities and (all) individuals. A voting system that excludes some people is not suitable. Any system which results in the emergence of two main parties has failed the test and should be rejected. If a system does not provide proportionality it has failed.
