Under the system, simulations of the elections of 1979, 1983, 1987, 1992, 1997, 2001 and 2019 would have still produced overall majorities, Landslides would be moderated. |

No other constituency-based system offers this, including FPTP. Under simulations, PR squared gets the very close election of February 1974 "right", whereas under FPTP, the national vote plurality winners (the Conservatives) were reduced to second place in seats. |
