Fptp is like a referendum on the main parties

It's not such a bad thing to have first past the post... the reason for this is that direct democracy is legitimate and we can consider a fptp election to be a referendum on which of the main parties should lead. If there is nothing wrong with a referendum then there is nothing wrong with having a referendum on which of the main parties should lead and so there is nothing wrong with fptp. Fptp is only a problem if we actually want voters to be represented in parliament and we want true democracy. If we do not want true democracy but instead a periodic choice between two main parties then fptp suffices.
