Only the people can remove fptp

First past the post gives the government an unfair advantage over the people. The reason for this is that with fptp it is possible to govern with (only) a minority of the vote. A plurality is required but not a majority which means that it is possible to govern with a minority of the vote provided it is a plurality. This gives an advantage to the politicians and the political class. To make things easier for the people we should have pr but this can only be achieved (once fptp has become established) if the people demand it. If the people remain complicit with the fptp system (by continuing to endorse one-or-other of the fptp parties) then it will remain. Only if the people revolt and refuse to vote for parties which prefer fptp will it be possible to replace fptp with pr (which is in the interests of the people). It is not in the interests of the state to remove fptp because their interests are not aligned with those of the people. The state will retain fptp because it serves their interests and so it is only the people who can remove fptp.
