Correct it would be a PR version of FPTP.

Less important than a fairer voting system that reflects amount of votes cast.
Think about what your argument is and the current system.
Now lets give an example the current labour shadow chancellor. Did he manage to keep his safe seat dispite the corruption? Accountability didnt do much there did it? Because at the end of the day if an MP does something wrong if they in a safe seat they will still get voted back in again. probably 98-99% chance, the freak 1-2% chance they will get kicked out, much more likely their own party will kick them out if the press is too bad, which would happen anyway under a different system.
