Hmm, didn't someone recently say they lost out because more voters from a different party turned out, now, who was that?
Personally, I'd prefer the Tory idea of equal population constituencies and keep FPTP.
Why should people be forced to vote for candidates they don't want?
Incidently, for the prior 3 elections, the Tories haven't won, yet I, and them, are not calling for PR.

It's not about winning the election, it's about having a majority and total control with 38% of the vote. The Tories do form governments so your views do eventually get represented, you may well have a Tory government soon.
Changing the voting system would mean that more of the electorate gets represented.
