Proportional representation is better for the poor

The fptp system is bad for the weak and the poor. With fptp it is the popular candidates who are given all the power. Power is not allocated according to votes or popularity it is given entirely to the candidate who finishes first in an election. This means that the most popular (and powerful) candidate receives a disproportionate amount of power from the process. Fptp favours those who are already powerful and popular... it magnifies the problem of democracy which is that power is allocated according to popularity. Fptp is worse than conventional forms of democracy because it magnifies the power given to the popular candidates. The weak and the powerless do much better with a proportional system because they will be listened to regardless of the popularity of their views. With pr all views are listened to and respected but with fptp only popular views are respected.
