I wonder if FPTP and/or winner take all elections inevitably lead to some kind of tyranny by the majority.
“Tyranny of the majority” is nothing more than an anti-democratic authoritarian dog whistle.
FPTP is easily manipulated, abused, and prone to corruption… allowing a MINORITY to seize power from the majority by limiting/controlling the people’s options.
Except in the US a tyranny of the majority isn't even what is happening. All the shitty things that are happening are wanted by a minority of the population.
