==Disadvantages==
===Single-member seats abolished===
===More hung parliaments===
According to simulations (see below) the elections of October 1974,2005 and 2015 would have produced hung parliaments,in contrast to overall majorities under FPTP. Given the closeness of votes in those three elections, these outcomes do not seem unreasonable.
===Not PR===
===Declarations===
While simulations indicate that around 60% of the seats would be declared individually, throughout election night, just as under FPTP, the final allocation of seats would not be made until all votes are counted, when it would occur practically instantaneously. However a clear indication, especially for smaller parties, would become apparent long before the conclusion of counting, and computer forecasts would no doubt be continuously updated, similarly for most electoral systems including FPTP.
