Democracy is not government

Democracy is intended to provide a means for the the government to gain accountability from the people. To have democracy assumes that government without accountability (by the ballot box) is undesirable. If undemocratic government is tyranny then the intention behind democracy is to guard against tyranny. But with fptp we see that as a consequence of Duverger's law the choice rapidly diminishes to only two parties. This is a problem if we want the government to be accountable. If democracy is a good idea then fptp is a bad idea and adherents of fptp can only be people who oppose democracy entirely. People who like fptp dislike the concept of government accountability preferring that there are no elections and there is only tyranny. Without democracy we cannot imagine that the government will go away. To advocate pr is not to advocate government in the first place it is merely to advocate that the present government use pr. To decry the use of pr doesn't make the government any more vulnerable... to protect fptp does not harm the government for its unpopularity at a lack of accountability. The government stays whether the system is reformed from fptp to pr or not. The alternative to pr is not anarchy it is to have government constrained (only) by fptp. To reject pr is to protect the government because the absence of pr is not a threat to the government. The government has done very well with fptp over the years and so to protect the fptp system is to protect the government. If the government is exposed to democracy there will be less of it. Government is the opposite of democracy.
