The best arguments against proportional representation seem to be: (1) no one wants that many members of Reform UK in the Commons and (2) every election would ultimately come down to the Lib Dems (maybe plus a regional party / the Greens) deciding whether Tories or Labour get to form the government.

The House of Commons under PR: Labour: 220 Tories: 154 Reform: 93 LibDem: 79 Green: 44 SNP: 16 Workers Party of Britain: 5 Plaid Cymru: 5 Sinn Féin: 5 DUP: 4 (+25 seats now with various random entities that mostly wouldn't exist with PR. 5ish seats still unreported)
