Proportional representation would be a revolution
Because government under fptp is so terrible people assume all government is bad but that is not the case... in fact government is a requirement for civilisation and property rights. Without a government there can be objective property rights and so no property rights at all. There are no property rights without government so we must choose the best type of government. The problem is fptp not the government itself. If we have proportional representation people are treated fairly (as voters) and they are able to get what they want out of the democratic process. If we have fptp they will always feel resentful towards the government because they have been given no control. To switch from fptp to pr would be a kind of revolution because it would (inevitably) replace unpopular party politicians with what people want. It would be a popular revolution.
