First past the post is good for tyrants because it is less democratic than pr. Democracy is a civilising institution which protects the population form tyranny. Democracy is defensive and so more democracy is more defensive. If we want to be defended from tyrants then we would want as much democracy as possible and we would want to have pr.
Proportional representation is the best form of democracy because it is the most effective at removing tyrants. Those who seek to retain fptp are protecting tyrants.
Good people like democracy and so good people would like to have more of it where that is possible.
