Proportional representation is good for liberalism

With a first-past-the-post voting system voters generally take into account how they expect other people to vote. This is called tactical voting and the reason for this is that if there is only one winner then we are wasting our vote if we vote for a minority candidate. It only makes sense to vote for a candidate we know to be popular and who has a chance of winning. This means that minority concerns are - or can be - ignored by the fptp system. A better system is one where voters are able to vote in a 'naive' sense... that is to say that they can simply choose their favourite candidate without being concerned that their vote would have more influence if they voted for a more favoured candidate. Tactical voting reduces the power of democracy which means it encourages tyranny and the expansion of the state. If there is a two-party system then always one of these parties will be of the left and because voters are generally unsympathetic to the state it is the left who will generally do better. Left-wing voters are more inclined to support the government and so they have less of a disinclination to vote for the dominant party. Voters on the 'right' do not like government and so do not like voting for the big party of government. A proportional system makes it very difficult for the left to do well because if people vote for the politician which most closely matches themselves this will lead to a splintering of the political establishment because people have disparate concerns. So then proportional representation leads to a fracturing of the political system which diminishes the power of the state. If the voting system is more proportional this is bad for the large political parties and so it is good for the voter. What is bad for the large parties is bad for the government (and socialism) and so pr will lead to more liberalism.
