First past the post is a criminal system

We are free if we can choose. If there is a choice in any situation then we are free and no crime is being imposed on us. If we can choose to refuse something happening to us then no crime has been committed. We commit a crime if do not give other people a choice in our actions affecting them. If other people are not free to be free of our actions then we are being a criminal. Crimes are defined by a lack of choice and a lack of freedom. So if we have a democracy that fails to offer voters the fullest amount of freedom and choice then we have imposed a criminal democracy. Any democracy which fails to provide the voters with the widest choice is a criminal democracy. Democracy is bad if it is not proportional since with pr we can vote in a naive way without tactical considerations. First past the post is a criminal voting system because it deprives the voters of the fullest possible choice.
