First past the post is a form of tyranny

It is necessary to have a government because otherwise we can never objectively define property rights which are required for a civilisation. Given that government is necessary and government by anything other than the democratic process is tyranny the only remaining question to ask is 'what is the appropriate voting system to use?'. The answer is a form of proportional representation in contrast to a first-past-the-post system. The reason for this is that with pr voters can get the most choice and the most freedom without the requirement to vote tactically. This is good for the same reasons that democracy is good... it prevents tyranny where the powers of the state are abused. If we are the government we have the unique ability to use force legally. This means that we have a significant obligation to make sure we have given the people the maximum possible freedom and in particular the best and most flexible voting system. To be a true and valid government we must give the people the best possible opportunity to remove us and choose the most suitable representatives for themselves. If we are in government we have an obligation to be humble to the electorate and this is only satisfied if we use a proportional (or similar) system. To use fptp is not deferential to the voter and hence is a form of tyranny in itself.
