Politicians support proportional representation

It makes no sense for a politician or an aspirant politician to support anything other than a proportional voting system. If someone seeks elected office then we can assume they are not an anarchist and that they endorse the validity of the state. A politician is a hypocrite if they claim to be an anarchist so we must assume all politicians are statists and not anarchists. All statists must be in favour of proportional representation because it is the most democratic system available to the legislature and democracy is the only valid form of government. Statists support pr and so then the Tories are being hypocrites (denying their statism) when they claim to support first past the post. Only a hypocrite politician could argue that fptp is a preferable system.
