In my opinion PR is hopeless. Countries like Italy which elect governments using PR have lots of general elections as power sharing amongst political parties often break down resulting in another General Election.
The list vote system has resulted in the Greens who did put up any candidates for the first past the post constituency seats in the 2021 Scottish Parliament election ended up holding the balance of power thanks to Nicola Sturgeon inviting them to join the SNP controlled Scottish Government to ensure that she had a majority at Holyrood.
I cannot see the SNP ever doing that again as they should have operated as a minority government getting laws passed on a case by case basis with other political parties at Holyrood.
