First past the post is not freedom because we have to choose a government formed by one of the mainstream parties... with pr we can choose anyone. Freedom means not being excluded by (being allowed into government by) the two main parties which have disproportionate and illegitimate power. With pr the main parties cannot exclude voters and are forced to share power.
A proportional system allows everyone into government and is more competitive for those parties and individuals who seek office. Proportional voting opens up government to the voters.
