The problem with that would be grid lock for the leader getting anything done. The Prime Minister literally becomes one vote out of 300 and we get wacky coalitions of voting blocks that can blackmail the Prime Minister in order for him to get anything passed.
Its the old Simpsons thing where the leader wants to spend money evacuating springfield and some party demands an add on of funds for the perverted arts.
