If we assume that the establishment are fewer in number than can win an election it is apparent that first past the past favours the left. It is a contradiction for the great body of people to vote for the narrow elite and so then fptp will favour populists. Proportional representation in contrast favours no one but the electorate.
People will not vote for the aristocracy and so then it is consistent for everyone on the right to support a fully-democratic system and not fptp. The Tories cannot win with a two-party system because they are perceived as the party of the elite. Since the Tories cannot win with fptp it is important to have proportional representation so that coercive leftists do not gain a monopoly.
