Livia is correct I'd say.

I think this would be seen as tampering with the election process and probably big trouble could come from any such action.
Allegations of electoral fraud of any kind in any way would be taken very seriously indeed.
I feel sure this would easily get people into trouble doing it.

If I killed you and hid the body, no one would know. It'd still be illegal.

This is a prime example of just how broken First Past The Post really is. This shouldn't need to happen, it's ridiculous. People should be able to cast a vote for whichever party they wish without feeling it is a wasted vote.

I was against pr but never ruled it out completely.

Now however,I think I would like to see it. I agree every vote should count.
I do feel first past the post now serves the Nation badly, especially with the 2 usual main parties struggling as to either of them,to even reach the upper 30s as to polling percentage.

We need a way to elect MPs nationally, whether that be the single way to elect MPs or additional to the way we currently do. Smaller parties need more amplification to deliver more diverse viewpoints and truly reflect democracy.

If we have 10 or more years of coalition governments where nothing ever gets done because its impossible to please all the coalition partners - which is how it would be in a PR system, that will then be the end of the calls for PR. The grass is always greener on the other side, but rarely is.
