Proportional representation is not government

The difference between pr and fptp is that with pr we are all represented with fptp only one person is represented. Fptp is inherently 'presidential' whereas with pr we all have power. Only one person can win with fptp. The party whips control the parties themselves so that within each party there is only one leader. With pr the leader of a political party has much less power... in effect there aren't really any political parties. Fptp is analogous to a mayoral election the MPs are redundant if they are not the leader of the party... only the leader counts. With pr there is no leader and everyone (including the voters) may consider themselves to be a part of the government. Pr is democracy whereas fptp is government by a chosen leader. With fptp people choose their leader with pr we are the leaders of ourselves.
