Democracy is an obligation

The government has an obligation to provide fair elections... including proportional elections. For all votes to count equally is a democratic principle which is absent if we do not have pr. The government is not like an ordinary citizen or (legal) entity... it has certain obligations one of which is to be democratic. This is perhaps the main obligation of government... to be (fully) accountable to the people. It is irresponsible for the government not to provide proportional representation. The government is criminal if it is not democratic which includes being elected fairly and via a proportional system.
