First past the post is a form of anarchy

We know that if we do not use a proportional voting system the government will have no mandate to rule (if pr has not been used then the government has no mandate)... so this means that when we use fptp there is no mandate and no government. If there is not a mandate there is not a government and so if fptp is being used there is not a government and there is anarchy. There is anarchy if we use fptp and not pr. First-past-the-post is an anarchist voting system. If we do not use pr then we can think of this situation as being without a government.
