But the fact remains that Labour have a huge parliamentary majority from a minority of the vote, making a massive parliamentary gain from the most paltry increase in actual votes and 66% of the didn’t vote for them. It’s not made less awful because the conservatives lost popularity.

Yup. It’s a good mechanism for accountability, if not representation. But game out how the current vote share would look in an MMP system. Labour + LD doesn’t get you to 50%, so it’s either a minority government or a coalition with some small fry pulled from the “other” category.
