Fptp forces voters into a kind of Sophie's choice

Most people do not want to be controlled by the government so we can assume democracy is anti-government and liberating. If it is not then it is redundant. To the extent that democracy is not redundant it is liberating. The problem with fptp is that people who want to protect capitalism must support the Tories which is impossible for moral people. Fptp forces people to allow Labour to win or be immoral. (To vote for the Tories is immoral.) Pr means that moral people can protect capitalism. Religious people like fptp because it forces people who are liberals and who reject communism to support a party which tolerates religion. Fptp forces anti-socialist people to vote for a religious (immoral) political party. Only religious people prefer fptp to pr. To not reject religion is immoral so fptp is liked only by immoral people. Religious people find fptp amusing because it forces good people to choose between communism and religion. We can think of this as a kind of 'Sophie's Choice' where neither of the options given is palatable.
