First past the post is not democratic...

We can only be in government if we have been elected democratically... if we seek to form a government then we must seek (and secure) a mandate from the people. If we do not hold elections and gain a mandate from the people then we are not a government we are a tyrant. To rule people without elections is arrogant tyranny. It is arrogant because we have assumed that the people (who we treat as subjects) are our subjects. We assume that we are the government even though we have held no election. Only with democracy is government valid and so to oppose elections and yet still claim to be a government or to endorse government is authoritarian and arrogant. All governments must be elected democratically. True government is that which is democratic and has a mandate from the people. Government without democracy is tyranny.
