The left will always win fptp elections

The problem with fptp is that it rewards party loyalty and tactical voting. If people vote in a naive fashion for their genuinely preferred candidate this means that most votes will be wasted and the few bigger parties will win a disproportionate amount of seats. This is why fptp favours collectivists and the left... the right and liberals will be more inclined to vote for a smaller more niche party whereas the left is comfortable with voting for the bigger parties. It is consistent with the philosophy of the left to vote for the bigger parties so fptp helps the left and is detrimental to the right. Fptp rewards loyalty and punishes people for voting how they truly feel... which is bad for liberals and good for the left. The (Libertarian) right will never win an election using fptp. Fptp discriminates against the liberal (independent) mindset and generally returns a left-wing government. The right cannot win fptp elections. Fptp elections will always be won by the left.
