More often it is Conservatives, also on about a third of the vote, and that has deeply broken the country, but I take your point.

I'd like score/rank voting based mixed member.

    Yes the same issue has brought about Conservative governments. In 2015 the Tories got only 36.8% of the vote but this gave them 50.8% of the seats.

    I will admit that I don't know the details of the different kinds of proportional voting. As long as a system would result in a House of Commons that more accurately and proportionately reflects voters, I think that would be a good thing
