Fptp is good if the government is magic

If the government is good (but not wonderful*) then it has nothing to fear from proportional representation. If it is bad then it should keep fptp. People who like fptp support the government doing bad things. People who do not like (even) the government doing bad things do not like fptp. People who do not like taxation (theft made special by democracy) do not like fptp. Aggression is not validated by democracy so fptp is bad. If taxation suddenly becomes good when it is perpetrated by the (magic) government then fptp might not be bad... but those are the only circumstances in which fptp is benign. If taxation is not theft (and the government is magic) then fptp is not a problem. If tax is theft (and the government is normal and not special in any way) then fptp is bad.

*Wonderful in this context means (to describe) a type of infatuation. The word is being used sarcastically.
