The voting system might be improved

Anarchy is better than democracy.


It is a contradiction for anyone in government (an authoritarian) to claim that the voting system (used in the past) is wrong. If such an authoritarian is liberally minded then the voting system has not been an impediment to liberalism, and there is no need to change, the people have been wise in spite of the voting system. And there is no reason to think the people will not continue to be sufficiently wise into the future. If the authoritarian is socialist then they have already got what they want under the fptp (socialist) system, so there is no need to change unless pr leads to more socialism, fptp is already a good system for them. A liberal (authoritarian) would perhaps want to move to pr... but the fact of their already being in power suggests that the voting system is not a problem, only that it might be improved, made even better.
