India adopted the FPTP system for the following reasons:
- It is a simple system without much complication.
- For a huge sub-continental country like India, it is the most suitable.
- Voters have the freedom to choose the candidate of their choice.
- Since in the FPTP system representatives are chosen from one particular area, they can’t run away from their responsibilities.
- It is excellent for the formation of stable governments.
- It unites different sections of people. It is a suitable system for serving national interests.
- Proportional Representation system has many shortcomings and thus FPTP is better.
