Happy to admit I voted Green in 2017. Wasted vote? Absolutely. But then I live in Vauxhall; have a look at the voting figures for the last several elections, and tell me just how much value my vote had or did not have.

Outside chance that it will be more debatable this year, with Kate Hoey stepping down, but if you are a Tory living here (I'm not) then you still have as much chance of your vote mattering here as I do of marrying Jennifer Lawrence in a ceremony on the surface of Jupiter. Or Notts not finding a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory at some point in the next 12 months.

PR isn't perfect, but FPTP is just disenfranchising. I'm not scared of coalitions - what would be so wrong with two ideologies having to attempt consensus? Same reason the US has the three branches of governance, limits the risk of someone gaining power unchecked.
