It is shocking for democracy not to be proportional

First past the post is a shocking outrage... once it is known and accepted (in the academic community and elsewhere) that fptp fails to produce proportional outcomes then to retain it is an outrage. It is shocking that so many governments still retain fptp. It is shocking because to retain it is in conflict with other established truths about the government such as fairness and equality.
