First past the post is a form of (state) bigotry

We are making a false (bigoted) assumption if we think that it will be fine to have fptp. Fptp leads to the emergence of a two-party system (usually) which is a problem in itself. It is bigoted to think that a two-party system serves (or even can serve) the interests of the people well. To support fptp (or even to be tolerant of it) is to be bigoted in and of itself. Bigots are fine with fptp because they do not see the problems associated with it.
