The issue with the UK is that the opposition is even worse. Proportional voting doesn’t change that.

That is, proportional electoral systems increase the diversity of viable and represented parties, so if “the opposition” is bad in an FPTP system with the narrow set of parties it supports (can be as small as two, but regional dynamics will sometimes make it more nationally), proportional representation very much is a solution.
