Tories who oppose pr are not right-wing

Only the left is damaged by the replacement of fptp with pr but that is not to say that only the Labour party is damaged. The Tory party is also left-wing to the extent that it will be affected by pr. Proportional representation is a threat to the main political parties because it offers voters a true choice which means they can reject the aggressive aspects of government which they do not like. The aspects of government threatened by pr are by definition left-wing and undemocratic which means that (since they are threatened by pr) the Tories are to some degree left-wing. Any political party which is threatened in any way by the introduction of pr can be said to be left-wing. To be left-wing is to be powerful as a result of the fptp voting system. Fptp enables left-wing parties to thrive. Anarchy is not left-wing and neither is democracy... only totalitarianism (of the three possible forms of government) is left-wing which means that (in the absence of anarchy) democracy is bad for the left. Democracy is always a threat to the left which means that only the left have legitimate reasons to oppose pr. Democracy is a threat only to the left. The true (Libertarian) right have nothing to fear from pr only those who consider themselves to be on the right but who are in fact leftists. Only the left have something to fear from the introduction of pr but this can include members of the Conservative party.
