If we were to do away with FPTP, Mixed-Member Proportional is probably the way to go. Tries to have the advantages of both FPTP and pure Proportional

I would still have 338 seats, but halve the number of ridings.

In any proportional system, I would think a high threshold - say 5% national support should be needed to get any representation. This could help weed out purely regional-based, extremist or issue-specific parties from any sort of power.
