If all far right parties end up getting a couple of seats through PR or FPTP, it's only a matter of time before they unite in order to have more seats under the same brand to increase their visibility. PR doesn't protect us from authoritarianism if most of the population votes for it or for parties that might work with the authoritarians.

PR is just that, more proportional and more representative of the population's will, but if the right is what the population wants (no matter how they were convinced to vote for it), that's what the whole country gets. The only consolation is that "Welp, that's what people wanted 🤷"
