What PR enables is the fighting that is _within_ parties to more naturally split out into _new_ parties. This is inherently more democratic. As under PR there is no/little consequence of splitting into a new party. As an analogy, imagine if open source prevented forking by ensuring if you forked nobody could find you. All PR has some negative consequences to be sure - they are not absolutely perfect - but I would argue on balance better. Some say PR requires compromise. To my mind this is a feature. If the voting public don't give an absolute and clear majority then what they're saying is maybe your mandate isn't great. How about we limit you to just the issues where there is clear cross-party consensus. Rather than being reckless with a "majority" (which under FPTP could be well under 51% of population)
