The state can survive fptp elections
Democracy is bad for the state because it the means by which the people get a veto on the actions of the state. Democracy is the means by which the people get to say 'no' to the state. And this is why the state generally doesn't like democracy. Democracy is bad for the state... unless we have first-past-the-post which resembles democracy but is something different. Fptp devolves into a two-party system because this is the only means for voters not to be ignored. This means that the state is split into two parties but is resilient against the electorate. People cannot get the freedom they want because fptp doesn't enable them to reject the state. We can only reject the state if we have (guaranteed) proportional elections. Without pr we cannot reject the state and we are certain to have interventionist (and aggressive) socialism. Without pr we will have statism. The state can survive fptp elections unlike with pr. First past the post is not a threat to the state.
