Fptp is fine unless the Tories are not perfect

No (political) party is perfect but in particular the centre-right party of a fptp duopoly is not perfect which means there is a problem with the fptp voting system. If the centre-right party of a fptp voting system (the Tories) is perfect then everyone will vote for them and there are no problems. If people do not want to vote for them nothing can be done to improve the situation. But if the Tories are not perfect this will mean that voters who are otherwise against communism and socialism will be drawn into voting for other parties and wasting their vote. If the Tories are not perfect then fptp loses anti-communist support and enables the state to expand. If the Tories are not perfect fptp helps the left... the reason for this is that whatever aspect it is of the Tories that (some) people do not like they will be able to find a non-communist alternative using proportional representation. Without pr those anti-communist votes will be lost and the centre-left party will get in. Fptp is bad because the centre-right party is not perfect. If the Tories are perfect then there is no problem with fptp.
