To use first past the post should be illegal

Socialism is not necessarily caused by democracy... in fact there are good arguments to show that if there is less democracy this will lead to more socialism. With less democracy (as with fptp) the government must to some degree guess the intentions of the voting public. Which will usually lead to more government because the state is inclined to enlarge and favour itself. With pr we know precisely what the public want and don't want. It is very likely that with a more transparent and open voting system there will be less socialism (and certainly less bad socialism) because the public will realise it is to their detriment. Governments often use the concept of socialism merely to enrich themselves and with more democracy this is not possible. Democracy prevents socialism otherwise there would be no reason to have elections to begin with. If democracy doesn't lead to the diminution of the state (by allowing the people to choose whom leads) then it would serve no purpose. Democracy enables the people to choose the leaders which means there is less consensus around established state leaders and more anarchy. No government should be allowed to form which does not use the most transparent and open form of democracy possible. It should be illegal for the state to use fptp.
