Democracy is good at stopping crime

The purpose of democracy is to enable the people to have a government and protect themselves from crime. If there is no government (no democracy) there is anarchy and no objective means to prevent crime. We cannot arrest criminals if we do not have an objective means by which we can determine the truth of property claims. So for peace and freedom we require government and a democracy... but if we do not have pr then we will not be able to vote in a naive sense for our preferred candidate. If we must make tactical considerations when we vote we are not voting in a naive fashion as we should be able to do. If we do not have pr then we are not able to vote in a naive fashion and our ability to be represented in government is diminished. It is more difficult to protect our property rights if we do not have pr. The government is more effective and more powerful if we have a fully proportional system. First past the post is a weak system because the people are not represented instead power is given to the political establishment. Fptp is not true democracy is is ownership by (control of the government by) the political establishment. True democracy is proportional which leads to more effective prevention of crime. It is easier (if we are a criminal) to commit a crime if we live in a country with first past the post because the mechanisms by which the state can prevent crime are weakened. It is only with the state that we can stop crime but fptp weakens the state. Fptp does not lead to strong government (since government is democratic) it leads to government by the political establishment and the two main parties... which is not strong government. To get strong (and legitimate) government requires full democracy which is proportional democracy. Only with pr do we have strong government... which is the best means to prevent crime. Strong government is good and fptp prevents it.

Democracy is bad for the government

The purpose of democracy is to enable the people to be protected from the state. Because the state has a monopoly on the law this means that the state can potentially do great harm to the people. Whether this happens via a misallocation of property rights or direct theft the government can do great harm to the people which is why we need democracy. To be in favour of democracy is to be opposed to the state and to seek to place constraints on the power of the state. If we do not like the state we want more democracy. Democracy is good for people who do not like the state. If we do not like the state we like democracy.

First past the post is anarchy

There can be no legitimate government which does not have the consent of the people. And to make sure a legislature has the consent of the people we have elections which give control of the government to the people. But if we do not have proportional elections (and instead have first-past-the-post) then we cannot say that the people have been given a voice. If the government is elected via fptp then it will (eventually) be controlled by a two-party system which is not the full expression of democracy. To have the consent of the governed a government has no choice but to arrange proportional elections. Without pr the government is illegitimate because it does not have the consent of the people. For a government to be legitimate requires the consent of the people and by extension it requires pr. Without pr the government is not legitimate... there is no true government if there is not pr. Only with pr can we say that the government has legitimacy. To be legitimate the government must use pr it cannot use fptp. First past the post is not a legitimate system. There is no legitimate government if there is fptp.

The Tories are not Libertarians since they reject pr

Proportional representation is better for Libertarians because democracy itself is a liberating concept. To be able to choose your leaders is a form of freedom... which fptp constrains. We can deduce from this that the Tories are not a Libertarian party since they support fptp. Since all Libertarians support pr then for the Tories to not support pr shows that they are not Libertarians. The Tories do not support pr so they are not Libertarians.

Libertarians support proportional representation

The state gives people freedom from crime so the state is a liberal and Libertarian concept. And if to have a state requires that we have a democratic state then democracy is a liberal concept. So then it is a contradiction for a Libertarian to reject democracy... and by extension proportional representation. Libertarians support pr because without the state there is no freedom (from crime) and without democracy there is tyranny. Any lack of democracy is tyranny so first-past-the-post is tyranny even though it is not as bad as outright dictatorship. Proportional representation is a Libertarian concept and Libertarians support pr.

There is no reason to reject pr

Good people do not support fptp... many claim to be in support of fptp because it protects the two-party system and as a result this protects freedom. But freedom is not protected by protecting the two-party system unless to protect the government is to protect freedom which is an oxymoron. We do not hear the same arguments being made in favour of communism or outright dictatorship that we might hear for fptp because they are plainly wrong. To claim that a dictatorship is necessary to protect the people from the tyranny of democracy is not a common argument but similar claims are often made for fptp. There is no good reason to support fptp over pr just as there is no good (legitimate) reason to support a dictatorship. There is no reason to have a dictatorship and there is no reason not to have pr other than precedent.

First past the post is not good for the government

Government is impossible because we own ourselves... this is not a matter of opinion but a claim about reality. It is clear that we each have the capacity to choose for ourselves and this includes the ability to choose whether we are governed but to choose government is an oxymoron so there is no government. But if we have a fptp system of voting it becomes difficult for the voters to free themselves of the state as they would do with a proportional system. So fptp creates a government which is bad for the subjects but also bad for the government because to be the government is a bad thing. It is bad to take on the responsibility of looking after people... it is better to look after yourself first and have no obligation to others. Charity is possible but this is not government. It is bad to be the government which is why fptp is a problem not only for the subjects but also for the government. Fptp is bad for the government because it creates a government. There is a government if there is fptp... which is bad for the government.
