First past the post ignores peaceful people

With the first-past-the-post voting system it is difficult for people who do not want a large state to be heard. It is easy for the state to ignore dissent because only two parties realistically have a chance and so pro-statists have more influence. Fptp is bad for anarchists and Libertarians because it restricts choice. This means that only people who consent to some form of interventionist and aggressive state have any influence. Those who reject violence are ignored. Fptp ignores peaceful people. People who are happy for the state to be aggressive and criminal are listened to but not Libertarians.
