Overall the people will choose a helpful government

Without government there would be no objective laws and so then the law and property would be determined by force alone. When we have government and a state then we can have courts to decide the law. If there is a state then there must be democracy so then since government is good then so too is democracy good. People will not vote for bad politicians by definition since it makes no sense for people to vote for something which will be harmful to them. The population as a whole will not vote to harm itself even if some small minority of people would like the government to do harm to the people… overall the people will (intend to) choose a helpful government. Unless the people are wrong (and we must assume that they are not… because otherwise that leads nowhere) then democracy is good. Since democracy is good then there is no reason to suppress it and there is no reason to use anything other than a fully-proportional system. To use anything other than full proportional representation is bad because democracy is good and the voters are good. We must assume that the state and the voters are good and so then there is no reason not to have pr… any system which is not proportional must rely on the assumption that either the state or the people are not good which is illogical as far as political science is concerned. We must assume that the people are good otherwise we can get nowhere… to assume otherwise advocates only authoritarianism which is a contradiction. If there is not authoritarianism then there is full democracy which can only mean a proportional system... anything else is either authoritarian or anti-statist.
