Proportional representation is a form of rebellion

It should not be possible for people who do not agree with democracy and proportional democracy to gain access to power. It should not be possible to be a politician and not advocate proportional representation. All politicians should be in favour of pr. No one should vote for candidates who are not in favour of pr... only pr-advocates should ever get elected. To vote for someone who does not advocate pr is to vote for someone who does not want to be constrained by democracy and does not seek a mandate from the electorate. This means that you are voting for someone who doesn't want to seek a mandate in the future... they want the government to be undemocratic. It makes no sense to vote for anyone other than a democrat. (Voting for a fptp-advocate is similar to failing to resist a criminal.) It is logical (and rebellious) to withhold votes from people who do not support proportional representation.
