In order for the state to have legitimacy it must be accountable to the people since otherwise it might be unpopular. The state has an obligation to be helpful to the people which implies democracy. We know that if the state has been democratically elected that it is accountable and useful to the people. But if the state seeks democratic legitimacy it must use the most democratic means of election possible which is proportional representation. If the state fails to use pr then it is not being fully democratic and it might be failing in its obligations to the people. The state must be democratic and if the state fails to see this then it is in denial. The state is in denial if it fails to realise its obligation to be fully democratic and to use proportional representation.
The state is in denial if it doesn't use proportional representation.
