===Marginal seats===
Under FPTP the election is for practical purposes only fought in the long-term decreasing number of marginal seats. As the Jenkins report
''"The problem with FPTP is that 70% of the voters are considered by the parties to be either so 'sufficiently saved' or so 'irredeemably damned' as to be safely ignored..."''
Under FPTP many classic bellwether marginals, such as the two Bury seats (and previously the two Prestons) often flip from 2:0 to 0:2, whereas under PR-Squared these would likely become reasonably safe and stable 1:1 for the parties.
