The government is merely the most powerful collection of people within a geographical area. This means that unless you consider yourself to be part of the government you do not like it. It is for this reason that democracy tends to reduce the size of the state... because most people do not align themselves with the government. So then democracy is the best form of government... there can be no better system (of choosing) because it is the people who most dislike the state... politicians themselves naturally do not dislike the state and so it is only the people (not politicians) who would reject the state.
It is for this reason that a two-party system doesn't serve the interests of the people... because the people do not like the state they want less of it but the smallest of two main parties is still large. The smallest of many parties is much smaller than the smallest of two.
Democracy is the best form of government and its dissemination is to be encouraged wherever there is government and since proportional representation is more democratic than fptp it should be used in preference. It is natural to have a preference for proportional representation because democracy is the means to reduce the size of the state and since more people identify with the people than the politicians democracy reduces the size of the state.
