The right will never 'fix' fptp because they generally do not see a problem with it. They are not even in favour of democracy to begin with (they prefer free markets) so they are not interested in tinkering around with the system. The problem, however, with relying on the left to fix it is that the left do well out of it. Pr would be freedom which the left do not want... they do not want to be truly exposed to democracy at present they enjoy their status as the default party of government.
Even though pr is freedom the right will not tolerate it (they will not propose reforms in favour of it) because their 'conservative' position is unfalsifiable. Democracy itself is an abstract concept so it is impossible to falsify a position (or counter-position) which rests on democracy. It is a question of taste since neither can be objective.
And so we have an impasse.
