===Treats third (and smaller) parties more fairly===
At almost every election in the past the Liberal Democrats (and its predecessor parties) would have won significantly more seats than under FPTP; extremists, splinters and micro-parties would win few, if any.
Smaller parties or independents may occasionally break through in a particular constituency, just as they can under FPTP. Closed list forms of PR make this impossible, and very difficult even under semi-open lists.
