Pr is a requirement for civilisation

Only pr is logical as far as voting systems are concerned which means that if a government forms as a result of a fptp election it is invalid. And the people know this which is why fptp governments are generally despised. But if a government is deeply unpopular (as they are when formed using fptp) then we might even think of this kind of government as not being a government at all... and instead being a kind of anarchy. We can think of fptp as anarchy because it is so (illogical and) unpopular. To have civilisation requires property rights but without democracy and a government of some kind we cannot have valid property rights. Property rights need to be objective to be meaningful which means they require a government. There are no property rights in an anarchist system so we need democracy and government. Without government there are no property rights so if we are to be civilised we need democracy and if we are to be logical we need pr. Only with pr can we be (logical and) civilised. There is no civilisation without pr.
