Parliamentary systems don’t imply proportional representation necessarily. Commonwealth nations like Canada and the UK use the Westminster system, and use a first past the post system derived from that tradition for example. It simply depends on the country and who decided on the details of the electoral system.
Is this a serious suggestion? I’m having a hard time thinking how it would work. I’m guessing each person can vote for every representative “slot”?
Like how Parliaments work - proportional vote.
56% R, 39% D, 4% I = 16 Republican representatives, 11 Democratic representatives, 2 independent representatives.

Both parties create an ordered list of candidates and then they get seats from the top as many as they need based on their statewide votes.
