I think it will be a long time before anyone in power is actually willing to change our voting system. Not having proportional representation is what keeps the far-right out of power and I can't see either of the main parties (now that the lib-dems have kind of died off) wanting to increase the chance of gaining less votes.
If we had proportional representation then UKIP would've been the 3rd largest party in govt in the last election but luckily we don't and they only got one seat. Farage was an MEP but not an MP.
Corbyn is still limping along as Labour leader but I imagine there will be a vote for new leadership soon and I get the feeling there was some dodgy behind the scenes backstabbing that went on and caused Johnson not to run. Currently many people see Theresa May as the lesser of all evils but who knows
