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

My general philosophy is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

A good philosophy.

But it IS broke! It might deliver 'stable' government but, in a
multi-party environment, it delivers MPs *and* governments for which
most of the people have NOT voted. That's why we need a change.

Which is surely better than MPs and governments for which even more
people haven't voted.
