But isn’t it amazing how it’s drummed into us that FPTP makes for more stable government?
-
It's true, FPTP with a majority means stability, it also means it's less representative.

Hence, the reason the UK will never have proportional representation, sadly.

It's the Labour v LibDem & everyone else war that really screwed us.

I disagree. Lib Dems tried to work with Labour, but weren't willing to put the lifelong "euroskeptic" Corbyn in as leader of a GNU. LD were right about that. LD stood down in some areas to give Labour a clear run. Labour refused to stand down anywhere. Can't blame LD.

From my Political Science days I recall that PR generally leads to more consistent policies and less instability, but isn't there also a danger of excessive path-dependence, i.e. collaboration risks creating a false consensus that is unable to respond to structural problems?
-
Perhaps. You also need to have a system that can adapt to change and new movements. Rise of Piraten and, oddly, AfD in DE would seem to show that can be done still.

I'm a Liberal Democrat, but I want to be able to work cooperatively with moderate Labour people & with any liberal Conservatives left to achieve common goals. Sadly, our political systems forces us to attack each other and now the extremes keeps those Lab/Con moderates hostage.
