FPTP also encourages divisive politics. It is not just about what happens in one election, consider also the insidious impact FPTP has in causing extremism.
Note that a good system is more than merely PR for parties though, it is a system that gives voters choice, and represents their choices.

If enough voters demand it, we will get it. I wish we already had it, but in many ways momentum seems to be building.

Going by the last election, yes they would. That would be representative of what voters wanted?
PR is about representing voters, in proportion to their votes. Not giving a party on either side with just a third of the votes full control.
It also encourages long-term thinking and stability.

FPTP allows a government with far fewer than half the votes to have outright control.
No system protects us against a party having 51% of votes having outright control, but with PR you need half the votes before gaining outright control, whereas with FPTP you do not.
