First past the post elections are immoral

Tories are illogical because they do not support (don't like) proportional representation. And there is no difference between logic and morality. The only reason to not support pr is if we are being illogical and we see no reason that votes cast for minority candidates should count equally. Being illogical is not a political philosophy... but nevertheless the Tory party often attract many votes and so many people are voting for an illogical (and therefore immoral) political party. It is natural that the Tories would not necessarily support pr because we know from evidence that they have been (and are) illogical... they often defend hurtful religious dogma for instance. If we are to have any (democratic) political system at all then morality demands that it is proportional.
