Voters need to pay better attention to those standing and not just vote on party lines (or tactically). If each constituency sent a "good" MP maybe the overall standard would go up.

Unfortunately, not true (for the Major parties).
First you have to get selected to get on the (Party) Candidates List, then you have to be short-listed (and approved by Central Office and the Constituency), then you have to be selected by the Constituency, then, and only then, do the voters get a choice.
