The Conservatives, Greens, Liberal Democrats and Reform UK sent candidates from one of the five Bristol constituencies, but Labour only offered a city councillor, Kelvin Blake.

There was frustration and concern after the event that each of the five representatives had made statements that were not in their parties’ manifestos and were not party policy.

That's basically the main downside I see to PR, finding out your local MP is from the monster raving loony party would be rather annoying. Saying that, I doubt he could do a worse job than the useless tory bint I currently have ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I see your point, but the reality is most people do vote for parties rather than people.

I imagine you would see more smaller parties in a PR system anyway, rather than the current big neoliberal tent parties.

There are good arguments for ranked choice and proportional representation IMO. The latter tends to favour more "fringe" parties getting representation, which usually isn't a bad thing.
