Indeed.
Its set up to be adversarial, from the design of parliament itself, with two sides facing each other across a divide, to "His Majesty's Most Loyal Opposition" to PMQ's.
ELbowloh-
This House is a great play if it comes around again at a theatre near you. Reece Dinsdale was excellent in it when I saw it last.
There's a whole thing in it about the design of parliament and how things like the distances of the lines on the carpets relate to sword lengths, etc. https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/building/palace/architecture/palacestructure/churchill/ has more.

If you dont change all the shitty conventions and rules of an antagonistic system pr wouldn't work.
Parliament could be collabatory or Investigatory even with fptp but we choose not to be. Pr changes the way governments are formed not necessarily how parliament operates (winners Vs losers)
