Once the pendulum swings enough FPTP can be a useful thing, however breaking through as new party is extremely difficult.

The alternative is PR, but look at Geert Wilders and the Dutch, while winning the largest number of seats, the other parties (left & center) refused to form a coalition with Geert (right wing). In a FPTP Geert would have a clear majority and power to implement their policy's.

The USA has it's system to try and limit the issues with majority win of democracy, FPTP is UK's attempt.

The UK system does need a change, the House of Lords no longer acts a checks & balance to the House of Commons, due to changed introduced under Labour when Blair was in power. I fully expect more government to be handled to international bodies that changes the constitution.

On the bright side, Labour only got 36% of the vote, which is only a small increase on their 32% when they lost massively in 2019. A few percentage either way in FPTP can huge impacts.
