Apparently only UK & USA, in advanced/civilised communities, have elections which are not democratic. '1st past the post' can't truthfully be called democratic, since the votes/parliament-seats ratio is never balanced. Fair/sensible people believe PR systems give more power to the individual since his/her vote counts. This would, obviously, also improve the UK's dismal voting turnout knowing each vote counts. Voting 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc, next to each candidate would make all political parties strive to improve their manifesto & policies to suit as many voters as possible.
