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.Indeed. A switch to PR when polling 48% will obviously not lead to a majority under PR:
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

I'd like to see polling on what would happen if we did switch to PR. I guess closer to the councils with decent numbers for Greens and Lib Dems.
One problem with a switch is that it would take a generation of new politicians to learn to compromise and make deals in order to get things done. Unlearning the antagonistic current behaviour would take a while.
