Libertarians prefer proportional representation

To be right-wing is a form of bigotry usually associated with the church or something similar.... libertarians are neither of the left or of the right. We can generalise the right as being bigoted in terms of personal choices... the left are bigoted in terms of economics. Libertarians reject both of these forms of statist tyranny and for that reason they always support proportional representation. To not support pr and to be a libertarian is not a logical position. Even if we are a libertarian anarchist who wants no state at all... to be against pr (always in the context of fptp) makes no sense. The alternative (to pr) is not anarchy it is fptp... when we talk about preferences related to electoral voting systems it is assumed that anarchy is not one of the available options.
