First past the post is a form of oppression

There is no government which is not democratic... that is to say that if a 'government' has failed to hold valid elections then it cannot claim to be a government. Since the first-past-the-post method of electing officials is not proportional and excludes minority parties then it is not democratic and no organisation using (only) this system can claim to be official. No valid government uses fptp alone. Only governments which use a fully-proportional system are valid. There is no government which is not proportionally elected.

Fptp is anarchy in the same sense that totalitarian communism is anarchy because it is invalid and chaotic.

Democracy is less absurd than the use of first-past-the-post.
