For that reason, any system that implements party lists or candidate tables cannot be more democratic than FPTP because these lists are put together hundreds of kilometers away from the electors it affects.
It is not true that "any system that implements party lists" has lists that are "put together hundreds of kilometres away from the electors it affects."
I am glad to hear that you have no objection to forms of proportional representation that don't involve closed, non-regional lists, though.
