The left are in favour of fptp

As far as the state and democracy is concerned we are left with three reasonable positions. We can either be a pr or fptp statist or an anarchist. If we assume anarchy is not a reasonable position because we require property rights then we are left with pr and fptp statism. Since fptp makes it more difficult for people to be represented and socialism derives from a lack of representation we can say that those who support fptp are on the (socialist) left. People who support pr are in favour enabling the population to reduce the size of the government in which case they are on the right. Anarchists apart... the (progressive) right are in favour of pr and the (anti-progressive) left favour fptp.
