It is untrue, but your assessment is a little off. The issue is that any actual PR system would’ve been an unmitigated disaster for the Liberals, and they knew it, even worse than FPTP.

Never forget there is a very active old-boy’s network behind just about every major party. In much the same way as America, they decide what happens and what gets done.
