I don't understand why Tories would clamour for PR, esp given their increasingly narrow scope policy agenda. They fought four elections this campaign (one against each of Lab/Lib/Ref/SNP). Labour (at least or very much currently) has a broad agenda at the centre so can win even in this environment.

This means more three cornered contests, and low winning shares like that of the Labour candidate in Liz Truss' seat of SW Norfolk (26.7%, into third place on the all time list)
