This would mean that lots of constituencies in a general election would be represented by an MP who failed to gain the most votes.

Would that be an acceptable scenario in your constituency?
I’d prefer that to .the current system where we always end up with Governments that around 40 per cent of the voters want.

Anyway, you’ve described one example of proportional representation there, there are others.
