If first-past-the-post really blocked extremism, politicians would not keep warning that parties are being captured from within.

A two panel cartoon. Top panel shows a control box with two large red buttons. The left button is labeled “The opposition has been taken over by extremists”. The right button is labeled “First-past-the-post keeps out extremists”. A white gloved hand hovers uncertainly between the two buttons, suggesting a difficult choice. Bottom panel shows a worried man in a red outfit wiping sweat from his forehead with a cloth. The word “Politicians” is written across his chest. The visual symbolism implies politicians are stressed by the contradiction between claiming first-past-the-post blocks extremism while facing extremist takeovers under that system.

You cannot defend the system and blame the outcomes at the same time.

Proportional representation aligns power with votes.
