Only first past the post is government

The only mechanism by which it is possible to stop the state is democracy. If there is no state then democracy is redundant and irrelevant... but if there is a state then we can say unreservedly that democracy is a good thing. If there is a state and no democracy then it will inevitably lead to tyranny. Democracy is the only thing which is able to stop the state. So more democracy is always a good thing. If there is a state then democracy is a good thing otherwise it is irrelevant. If more democracy is possible (and there is a state) then it is always a good thing to have more democracy. There is no reason to oppose more democracy unless you are the state or supportive of the state. Democracy is always bad news for the state and so only the state and those identifying with the state have a reason to oppose it. Only the state has a reason to oppose democracy. Democracy is bad for no one but the state. Democracy is always good because it exists only if there is a state. (It is not the cause of the state.) Compared to tyranny some democracy is good... as in the case of fptp but more democracy (pr) would be - even - better. Without pr there is a risk of a duopoly emerging. With pr there is no duopoly and (effectively) no government because with full democracy we can represent ourselves which is like (representative) anarchy. Government is caused by fptp. Anything other than fptp is anarchy.
