for those who think it could be a good thing, why has it never worked in the UK?

The first past the post system isn't a glowing success either. Trouble is though, that our parties will struggle to work together - easily rectified by a mandate to have MPs shot if they don't grow up a bit and start working for the good of the country, instead of their own grotty party agendas.
Why?
You asked why it has never worked in the UK. It has. It does. Irish parties aligned with Labour and Conservatives. Numerous NOM councils around the country - some working more effectively than majority councils. The most notorious councils in the country at the moment are all single-party.
The issue is not can it work, but would it work with the parties and personalities involved now. At the monet it looks like the political future for the next few decades may depend on who pallys up with who, and how well they make it work. If it happens it looks likely that there will be one very big loser.
