If there is a government then pr is preferable to fptp

If there is no government then it (clearly) doesn't matter whether we have fptp or proportional representation. The only reason to have any form of democracy at all is if there is a government and we seek to restrain it or to give it a mandate from the people. If there is a government then democracy is good... otherwise it is a tyranny or a dictatorship. Since (in the presence of government) democracy is good then we can further deduce that more democracy is preferable too. Then pr is preferable to fptp if there is a government. If there is not a government then it doesn't matter if we choose pr or fptp. To be consistent defenders of fptp must either be in the position of denying that the government even exists (which would seemingly make the conversation redundant) or that (in spite of the existence of government) democracy is a bad thing... and that government without democracy is better. To reject pr (in favour of fptp) is like being a slave and choosing to reject privileges offered to us by the owner. It is only a sensible thing to do if we deny that we are slaves to begin with. If government doesn't exist then pr cannot be preferable to fptp... if government does exist (and is a valid institution) then it must be better to have more democracy and to replace fptp with pr.
