Proportional representation is never harmful

If there is a democracy then we are certain to have a base level of freedom defined by how much freedom people want. There cannot be less freedom than the people want in a democracy assuming the democracy works and is efficient. If people want to be free then in a democracy they will be free. If they do not want to be free then democracy will not improve their condition. Democracy is only beneficial if there is a state it can never be harmful. Democracy can only improve freedom if there is a state. Since proportional representation is more democratic than fptp we can deduce that it will never be harmful. It might be the same as fptp but pr will never reduce freedom because the people want to be free from the state... by definition.
