Let's say that the Conservatives get 45% of the vote, but 65% of the seats... well, now you need to 'top up' the other parties so their respective share of the vote matches their share of the seats.

Ahh. I must have misinterpreted what you wrote the first time.
Wouldn't this mean that the number of seats could fluctuate election to election? If you have to bring the 65% down to 45%, but the next election it's 55% to 50%, there will be different seat numbers, no? or just more "losers" from the "winning" party? Or am I misinterpreting again?
