because we have constituency MPs

If you dont want a specific local MP, then yes, FPTP is daft. But if you do, then (given we have already been asked about and rejected AV) there is no fairer way than to say the individual with the most votes wins.

Most people, I think, want a local MP that they can directly hold to account at the next election.
