Yes, you've just explained in the first 3 tree paragraphs: 1) why it's more democratic, 2) why it tends to counter extremism.
You've then described in the 4th paragraph why FPTP fails to contain extremism, and forces "lesser evil" voting because for a large proportion of the electorate, their preferred option will have been eliminated and so is *not represented at all* in the final vote.
Thank you for thoroughly explaining why FPTP is fucked up.
