First-past-the-post is helpful to the government

Proportional Representation leads to small government. Government is not chosen... If government is wanted fptp would not always lead to the emergence of two main parties... it is because (of the fact) that it is unwanted that people feel they must select one of the established parties. Proportional Representation does not result in big government. No system of electing governments is worse than fptp. Indeed, it has been said that first-past-the-post is the best form of democracy except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time. If some democracy is good then more must be better. Fptp is not democratic enough. PR is more democratic.
