The smallest governments are proportional

First past the post is worse than pr because if people cannot get what they want electorally they will endorse more government than less. The best political system is that which the people can effectively get exactly what they want. This means the government will have less latitude to interfere and do things which the people do not want. If the people can get what they want this makes it more difficult for the government to serve itself. There is no harm in giving people an effective democracy because we already have democracy in the form of fptp. Fptp doesn't protect the people from themselves because there is still a government. All it does is to enable the state to 'do' more than the people want. Fptp enables more socialism than the people want without removing the problem of democracy itself. Fptp solves no problem but it does enable the state to be larger than it otherwise would be. Fptp has only bad differences when compared with pr. Democracy and government is a fact of life (even in an anarchist system there are other people... society exists) and so it is preferable to have the most efficient system possible to reduce government intervention. (Other people are real.) The smallest government is provided with the most proportional representation. Big government derives from a lack of pr.
