First past the post is bad and permanent

It is unlikely that the government will concede to changing the voting system in favour of proportional representation (pr). Pr would enable the voters to have more choice and remove bad politicians. This is not in the interests of the state and is the reason it will be very hard to get rid of fptp. Politicians and the state like fptp because it makes it hard for the voting public to get what they want and remove bad politicians. It is because of fptp that bad politicians are protected and so they will want to keep it. If the political class were composed of good people then fptp would not be a problem but it is because people do not like the politicians that (paradoxically?) we need pr and cannot have pr. We cannot have pr because the government is bad and will not allow it... which means we need pr. Fptp (and unwanted government) protects itself automatically. If government is good we would have pr but it is because it is not good that we have fptp and can't have pr. Fptp protects itself because it is bad. We cannot remove fptp because it is bad.
