Elections matter because people want to be free

If the government is popular and liked by the people then it won't make much difference which form of voting system is chosen... they will always vote for the party which promises to do the most and we will end up with communism. Politics and democracy rests on the observable truth that people do not much like the government. If people do not hate the government then elections would be completely uninteresting and to get elected a party would need only to promise to tax everything. This is clearly not the nature of elections and so we can deduce that people do not like governments. And if they do not like governments and small government is good then it would be sensible to have a preference for pr. Only if either small government is bad or if elections do not indicate the antipathy of the people for the government would it be a good idea to retain fptp. Pr is a good idea because small government is better than large government and because the people can be relied upon to remove governments when they are given the opportunity. When we are witness to ballot rigging and other electoral crimes it is generally the incumbent state that is responsible for the fraud. This is because they know the people will vote to remove them. If democracy is not a threat to the state it has no meaning. If democracy means anything and the outcome of elections are pertinent to our lives then it can only be because the people do not like the government and so pr is better. If elections are meaningful then pr is preferable to fptp.
