I don't see the need to change, myself. The FPTP system has generally

Dictatorships also deliver stable governments but I would not want
one.

They are stable until they cease to be stable. *That* is why you don't
want a dictatorship; there is no stable transition mechanism.

No. It isn't why I don't want a dictatorship. I would not want a
dictatorship even (especially) if it was stable forever.

I want a democracy where the government represents what the people
want. I realise that is never going to happen 100% but it does not
mean that improvements cannot be made.
