How many seats would UKIP have got at the least general elect under PR?
They got four million votes, which is more than the total the SNP got. PR over represents minorities and the lunatic fringe. FPTP isn't perfect but it does eliminate the nutters and the irrelevant.

It would have looked like this [FPTP in brackets]
Conservative 241 [331]
Labour 199 [232]
Scottish National 31 [56]
Liberal Democrat 51 [8]
Democratic Unionist 4 [8]
Sinn Féin 4 [4]
Plaid Cymru 4 [3]
SDLP 2 [3]
Ulster Unionist 2 [2]
UKIP 83 [1]
Green 25 [1]
Others 4 [1]
So go for PR if you want green racism.

It doesn't really eliminate them, it just hides them so they can't make arses of themselves.
Meanwhile they still kick up a fuss, sometimes getting enough sympathy to no longer be considered an underdog, necessarily.
