A proportional voting system is a natural right

Access to government is a natural right which is why we have elections and democracy. To prevent people for no good reason from participating in government and democracy is a crime and so to use any non-proportional voting system is a crime. It is a crime not to use a proportional voting system because this means that people are being excluded from the democratic process for no good reason. We might argue that criminals should not have the right to vote but someone who rejects the populist (fptp) parties is not by definition criminal. We are violating the rights of other people if we vote for and endorse a non-proportional voting system.
