First past the post is similar to a protection racket

No contract is valid if it is made under duress. First past the post is similar to extortion or a protection racket whereby we must make a choice (vote for one of the main parties) in the knowledge that failing to do so will result in something worse happening. It is not a valid act if we act out of fear of something worse happening.

First past the post is better than nothing but it’s not full (real) democracy.
