Pr is good for the people and bad for the state

First past the post is not good for minorities and people who support minorities. Fptp is good if you want the needs and concerns of minorities to sidelined and marginalised. Fptp helps the politicians to ignore the needs and concerns of the people. Pr makes it more difficult for the political classes to ignore the concerns of the people... because it is good for minorities. Politicians hate minorities which means fptp is good for politicians and pr is bad for them. Politicians hate pr because it means they are obliged to listen to the concerns of the people. Fptp is bad for the people which is good for the politicians. The politicians and the people have conflicting interests and pr is favourable to the people. Fptp is good for the state and bad for the people.
