The people are more powerful than the state which is why the state is never justified in suppressing democracy. It makes no sense for the state to advocate first-past-the-post or any other non-optimal system of democracy because the purpose of the state is to serve the people (not the other way around).
The people are not only more powerful than the state they are also more important which means the people should be given the most direct voting system possible. The state is in denial of reality if it thinks that the suppression of democracy is a good idea. Democracy is a natural right if there is a state and not to recognise this is to deny reality.
