    Imagine if they made the excuses for voters who pretend FPTP doesn’t exist, that they make for politicians who pretend FPTP doesn’t exist.

      Acknowledging the failures of the democratic system is by definition an acknowledgement of the lack of agency in voters

      You can’t both acknowledge FPTP and deny it as voter disenfranchisement - they are one in the same.
