Proportional representation leads to total chaos at government formation, and in Europe it has largely failed to stop the far-right because it gives the far-right a platform by default. It’s not really a better system than STV. The best system is probably a mix between STV and condorcet.
I live in Australia. We have STV at federal elections and PR in Tasmania. Tasmania has gone from the strongest economy in the country to the weakest, as a result of PR.

Anything is better than FPTP though.
