First past the post is only good for party loyalists

It makes no sense for Tory voters to tolerate first past the post. It makes perfect sense for the left to tolerate fptp because the Labour party do very well from it. It makes no sense for the 'right' to accept the fptp duopoly. The ability to vote for the Tories is no compensation for a lack of democracy. It is strange for the right to tolerate fptp in this way... it is unusual not to want (full) democracy... to be content with the obligation to vote for the party of the centre-right is strange and pathetic. No one on the right who tolerates fptp can be respected.... they are like sheep. It is amusing to see how pathetic and afraid they are... they do not even think to question their ownership. It does not even occur to them that they might have a right to democracy. They are blind to the problems of fptp because they are so completely loyal. It is not a question of fear (and of them being afraid) because voting for someone else has never even occurred to them... they have never been irritated by the Conservative party because they are so completely within the boundaries set by it.
