First past the post is sufficiently democratic

For there to be a state requires that there is a democracy... if there is no election there is no valid government. To have a government with no election is a form of arbitrary rule which is invalid... it is the democratic process which gives the state its mandate. There can be no state without democracy. But it cannot be said that the first-past-the-post system is not democratic. It is clearly true that elections have taken place even if the outcome is not proportional. So then a fptp election is enough to establish a state. Since the state is valid if it has used fptp then to argue for more democracy is only to complain about preferences... the fundamental requirement of democracy has been satisfied and it is for this reason that arguments for pr are often ignored. It is enough that the state has been elected with some democracy.
