===Safe seats are reduced===
While parties may still have their core constituencies, every candidate there and elsewhere might have to compete equally against others from the same party for the privilege of being elected, especially if the parties were to adopt the open list format of running candidates as opposed to the "tandem" closed list format.
 
Party-wise, the tendency for FPTP to produce clean sweeps in sub-regions would be reduced, meaning hitherto reasonably safe seats would become vulnerable, especially for secondary candidates on "tandem" lists.
