Silly old bat
PR also requires the PVV to form a coalition as 35 or 37 seats out of 150 seats isn't enough. Other parties can refuse to form a government with them.Yes, FPTP is utterly antiquated and wretched but this election is a great example of the limitations and pitfalls of PR. Way too much choice allowing the far right populists to sneak in by being the loudest and most offensive.
A modern and advanced preferential voting system is much better than both PR and FPTP. It protects a country against extremism in much the same way as FPTP but makes sure the majority’s least favourite option does not get in (57.6% of the electorate did not vote Tory in the last election and did not want them in).
