The thing with FPP is that you almost always end up with one party government.
A lot of people like this (myself included) because it generally brings stable and effective government although it has its negatives as well ie it is not necessarily representative of the general vote and it is possible to get a majority government with a less than 50% popular vote.
On the whole I preferred the Single Transferable Vote system as it was genuine proportional representation but you always got a winner however I suspect most people saw it as confusing.
