If there are flaws with that system, and FPTP is very flawed, the election is not the place to change it.

Then what is the place to change it?

Presuming you have elections that aren’t rigged or ignored, anyways.

And what if they are?

    You change the laws on how the vote is done. This is a legislative or constitutional process, depending on the jurisdiction (state, county, country, etc.)

    And if the elections are corrupt, then the corruption needs to be dealt with, or things will continue to devolve.

    Note that neither of those are the results of an election (assuming your constitution doesn't have referendums that can affect this).

    So, you're saying you change the laws through elected officials, through elections. And yet, somehow, elections are "not the place" for election reform. Make it make sense.
