There is nothing wrong with representative democracy

Slavery is not merely insane on the part of the purported slave-owner but it is also arrogant to think that people can be owned. We know that people cannot be owned because the law rests on being helpful to mankind and where it ceases to be so then it is not valid. The law helps people and to be owned is unhelpful so people cannot be owned and slavery is illegal.

But the act of slave-owning is not merely a passive acquiescence with the prevailing (incorrect) laws, to own slaves is an active endeavour because the slaves must be threatened to prevent their freedom. If there are no threats (explicit or otherwise) the victim will safely walk free, so slavery is not passive, the criminal is taking positive action.

We can think of slave-owning to be a kind of insanity on the part of the criminal because they are unaware of the liberties of the victim, the slave-owner fails to see that people cannot be owned, but slavery is more than mere insanity, it is also arrogant because people (the victims) cannot be owned.

To be a slave-owner is to make the arrogant assumption that people can be the property of other people. This is an arrogant assumption and, since all arrogance is amusing at some level, it follows that to make the assumption of slavery is amusing. However grave their predicament, it is possible for the victim of slavery to laugh at the arrogance of the slave-owner to think that they have the legal right to own other human beings. Slavery is insane, but it is also amusing because the perpetrator has made the deeply arrogant assumption that they have the right to own other people, which they do not.

So slavery is not merely insanity, it is also arrogance and this fact better enables the victim to liberate themselves from this arrangement. If we see that slavery is funny and not merely disgusting then we remove it quicker.

First past the post is a form of slavery since the government doesn't grant to the electorate full democracy, which is slavery. We have generally considered this be to a disgusting lack of vision on the part of the state, but it is also funny. And when we see that fptp is funny as well as insane then it is easier to remove because our arguments against it are more immediate. First past the post is arrogant because it assumes the people are the subject of the state, whether they have an adequate form of democracy or not. And this is not the case.

First past the post is arrogant because the people cannot be owned, and so, because it is arrogant, it is also funny.
