The fact that this works just shows that most ~~Americans~~ humans are idiots

FTFY. If you believe that people in your country would be different when put in the same situation then I’m sorry but you are one of the idiots.

I am American. I'm fully aware there are idiots in most countries. However the ratio of idiots to non-idiots is what really matters.

But, it matters less in a FPTP election than in most other things.

If anything, it matters more.

It's more of a problem because it takes fewer idiots to wreck things with FPTP, so the ratio is less important. Even a small amount is a problem.

Your statement basically proves the ratio is even more important in FPTP.
