I found this article really helpful in its framing of the arguments between FPTP and PR, but in common with most analyses, it does not define PR. Is it possible/realistic to shown a comparison between the various forms of PR and FPTP and how each performs in relation to the issues that you describe?

I think a wise Keir Starmer would introduce PR for local government in England and Wales first (like STV used in Scotland and NI). Then, once bedded in, offer it for Westminster. We probably wouldn’t then need a second chamber, as policy would be more consensus driven. If need be, we could have a smaller fully appointed second chamber nominated by the devolved nations and regions.
