The seat make up would look more like the left if we had a more fair and accountable proportional representation over the obsolete first past the post.

Proportional representation isn’t the cure-all everyone thinks it is. Vote-splitting goes away, sure, but then you get lots of small parties forming coalitions. If you want to see that in action, look no further than Israel’s government.
Israel is bad example because that government is corrupt and upheld by corporate interests from America. Norway is a better example.
Norway is upheld by $1.6 trillion sovereign wealth funds built with oil money. If that’s what it takes then good luck to the rest of us.
That’s a red herring, stay on topic.
