Yep. But, as ever, after a big win there's no incentive to change it.
And, funny as it would be, that huge a majority isn't really very good for long term democracy.

Totally agree. Starmer the dictator would be terrible for the country.

a) Many people will use the switch to PR to actualyl vote for their preferred parties (e.g. voting for the Greens rather than 'Most likely to oust the Tories' = Labour)
b) 48% of the vote share (as in the current opinion poll above) isn't a majority

Which would be lovely/hilarious etc, but - 18% of the vote and 13 seats is yet another example of how shit FPTP is.
