I moved from a proportional-representation country to a FPTP one (Canada) and it's so much better to have a specific individual who is my MP.

Back where I was born, there's a grey and anonymous party list of people selected by extremely dubious internal party political means. I never felt the slightest bit represented; and the political process was completely opaque.

Now I have a dude with a newsletter, an email address, and an office.

In fact, in a first-past-the-post system with a minority government you often end up giving disproportionate power to the third place party, in terms of the popular vote (in this case the NDP) because they hold up the government and can make significant demands in doing so. This has been absolutely borne out in Canada.
