No way.

I'd have wanted PR long before now.

The only ones who actually DON'T want PR and never will are those happy to see the votes of the majority dismissed for year after year in all elections as their Part gets absolute unfettered power to do whatever they like.

That's only the Cons.
Not all of them thankfully, some are seeing the light.

Those who want PR actually want all votes to count, properly representative of votes cast in elections .
Not overridden by a failing electoral system.

Which gave absolute power to someone like Johnson who then abused that power and trust too

PR would mean all votes coming to mean something and all votes to really count and make a difference.
It's no surprise to me however that PR would have Cons screeching and shaking in their boots.

It should never be in any democracy that around 40% of the votes can just dismiss and ignore the votes of way over 50% of the votes against.
By having absolute power.
No matter the Party in power.

50% of the seats for 50% of the votes.
That's true and real fair vote democracy.
