I've read it stated often enough that no party capable of winning enough votes to form a government would handicap itself by proposing PR, that I wondered: how did PR get enacted in other countries? And the answer turns out to be, a sufficiently strong third party that the leading parties were afraid they wouldn't be able to get enough votes to win by FPTP.
